If you open the German link up, you can see the wheel, but the pic is tiny--I tried cutting and pasting into one of my replies on here, but no luck--they are really small though.

The details came from translating the descriptions...

Correct. Smaller screen on non Navi though.
Thanks for the confirmation--need to read more closely.

It will be an interesting change for me--I typically leave the option sheet mostly blank--all of my BMWs have had no more than heated seats and the premium package (for the dimming mirrors), in an effort to keep the price down.

If you can fold the screen down, like my pops can in his Z4MC, then I won't notice too much...if you can't, well that will be interesting...

Screen does not fold.

I'm going different way. My M3 is loaded, but if I were to get a 2er (M2 included), all I'd want would be heated seats, xenons and H/K

Keep it M keep it simple and produce the car at a decent volume.
I totally agree--make it normal production run ///M...build 3 M3/4s for every M2 if you want, but don't make the damn thing impossible to get for a normal person.

Also, with a longer production run, more people will actually be able to plan for the car and get it at a time that makes sense for their respective situations. Doesn't seem too hard for me...

Damn...well that sort of sucks...perhaps it just takes getting used to, and I have never had that on my dash...it looks sort of like they dug a hole and stuck an iPad mini in there...

Are the Xenons going to be standard on the 228i? They were standard on my first E92 328i...different models I know, but you think that would be included for 33K...

I am also bummed there's no LED lights on the M235...

EDIT--I would love to see the M235 in black--that looks to be the sport line above, yes?

Looks great, so much better than any E8x series.

M2 is going to be soooo killer.

Why would anyone buy a 4er after seeing the M235i? I can guarantee you that the 2er would be more fun to drive.

I didn't read all 17 pages of posts, so apologies if already discussed. Why would they call it a M235i but call the 4 series a 435i? To me that would indicate that a M2 is unlikely.

Beautiful!!! I can't wait to replace my 135i (AKA Rattle box) with an M235i, I just hope the build quality is better than on the E82.

435i with M-sport starts at $50,575 with destination fee.

So difference of $6,550. Apples to apples comparison. (even then the M235i has more standard features like $650 Msport brakes )

You could also factor in the M235i has more hp/tq. Adding additional cost for PPK on the 435i.
You are correct. I did not factor m-performance goodies in the price of the 4 series. Makes the price of the 2 series very desirable in fact.

Oh man... BMW TAKE ALL MY MONIES! This is the car I have been hoping they would make it out to be.

I am ready to dump my barely one year old F30 for this. She might end up on lease trader soon lol

I follow your logic, but I wouldn't make that assumption just yet. To answer your question:

The M235i is the successor to the 135is and follows BMW's new naming of convention of appending an "M" in front of any model that had an "s" at the end of its name previously.

The 435i replaces the 335i coupe, not the 335is coupe. If BMW decides to succeed the 335is with an F32 in the future, then that will be called an M435i.

There were both a 135is and a 1M in the E82 generation as well as a 335is and an M3 in the E92 generation. The existence of the M235i and the lack of an M435i doesn't necessarily mean that an M2 is unlikely. That all said, it will be very interesting to see what engine BMW goes with if they do decide to make an M2, as the M235i seems to sit in the sweet spot of being plenty powerful, but far enough away from the M3 and M4 as to create meaningful market separation.

This car is so great looking. I want one but i also want to hold out for the M2. I can only imagine wide fenders and an even more aggressive body.
