These two cars couldn't be more different. Just due to dimensions and price, it's considered class competitors, but coupe vs sedan, awd vs rwd, 8speed auto vs dct, 6 cylinder vs 4 cylinder. Each has pro's and cons, but I honestly feel they are two very different cars which ultimately boils down to personal preference and needs. For me, I much prefer the looks and drivetrain of the M235i. But all respect to MB, they built a very interesting small performance sedan.
