Definitely - Chris Harris liked the M135, so I would expect something similar with the 2er.
Really looking forward to his assessment of the steering feel...

Well, I forgive him for the two turbos remark. BMW's nomenclature is confusing - twin scroll turbo. These motoring reviewers look at a lot of different cars and aren't hardcore BMW types (I am a hardcore BMW fanboy) like the people that lurk on this forum. Therefore they can't always be totally up to speed on all the specs. He probably remembered something about the N54 and thought the N55 was the same.
It is nice to hear some nice words on the steering. I quite like the steering on my F30 so couldn't figure out why all the negativity from the motoring press on BMW's electric assisted steering. Enjoyable review and I think the M235i will be one of BMW's best sellers. It is far more approachable from a price standpoint than an M4. The M4 is obviously the better track monster but will be more exclusive. |

I admire your forgiveness. BUT! It's his bloody job! He should know what is powering the car he has been paid to review. And especially as that car is all about the engine. Sorry, he's still a tool! Grrr!

And it needs to have 375hp, a proper sporting suspension, LSD and be priced less than the Cayman S.
This is a good start.
