So who cares if the engines change and make more power. For now I like my M235 as the numbering has some feel of great BMWs of the past such as 535 or the 635!!

Nothing new, they changed the model naming convention when the n54 came out 9yrs ago. The idea behind it was the displacement didn't matter anymore, because it's forced induction. Truth be told, I'm not a fan of the numbers game either.
