I had this same debate. On paper, the performance difference doesn't appear to be super substantial (e.g., the four cylinder is quite fast 0-60). However, the six cylinder is a whole other level of driving experience in terms of sound, immediacy, and low-end torque. In general, it is a unique thrill to pilot an inline six, rear drive small BMW coupe, and one that is increasingly rare. For those reasons, I felt like I'd be happier having a slightly older 235 vs. a newer 230 in the long run.
