Ok, I gotta finally chime in here. As a former owner of a e36,e46, e90 m3, and a current owner of the m235i, all brand new by the way. The 235 is not a M car. That being said, with the JB4, and partially without it, it is as quick or quicker in every way. I can afford the the m4 when released, and I might just pick up the m2. But right now, for the price, this is by far the best bang for the buck, by far from BMW. I could not be happier with the 235. I agree they should drop the exterior M badges, that's why all mine are gone.
I feel, after 3,800 miles including two road trips over 500 miles, each direction this 235 is in everyway a better car.
maybe its because i'm getting older, maybe not.
Just my thoughts.
