I have a '12 S4, formerly drove an e92 M3 and an e46 M3. Driven the f30 335i and the 435i. The m235i is far better than the new 335i and the 435i. Is it better than e92 M3, e46 M3, or S4? No. You would think after being on this forum that the m235i is the best car BMW has ever made. It is not. It is good but don't go in expecting a M car and that special feeling you get from driving or even looking at a M car.

To be honest, at first I hated my s4. It felt really detached and soul-less. But the harder you drive it, the more it will grow on you and impress you. Two simple mods that really made a huge difference was getting lightweight wheels and putting on Michelin Pilot Super Sports (same tires that are standard on the m235i). IMO The m235i is a downgrade in class, practicality, and interior quality while not being an upgrade in performance. I'd save your money for a M4 or the new S4 when it comes out in a year or two. Of course ppl in this forum will disagree so best to just drive the m235i for yourself and see
