I have joined the flock!

Hi everyone. I WAS the proud owner of a 2011 135 convertible and as of two days ago I now own a 2014 M235!

Since it was a 2014 it was priced pretty aggressively and I got a great trade in on my 2011 too!

I'm absolutely loving this car. Also as an IT guy the I drive and all the connected drive stuff is just freakin awesome!
Perfect car. Just a perfect car.

So how much nicer is the 235 over the 135 ?

Well flock! Welcome to the crowd!

its not a direct apples to apples comparison since my 135 was a convertible but. I have to say that the 235 just feels more powerful for sure. ride is much less jarring than the 135.

I am still getting used to the steering of the 235i but its not something I hate.

So far I am feeling very good about my "upgrade"

Good to hear all of this! I am upgrading from a 128i to the M235i but I am keeping both cars.

would have wanted to do that but I would need to expand my garage space which jacks up the price of keeping the extra car. You are very lucky to be able to keep both. the next house will have enough room to expand the dominion of the car.
