BMW used m235xi's during the M car control clinic I attended last year, as well as M3's and M4's. The side-by-side comparison driving them on a simplified autocross course convinced me to buy a 235, but I did buy the real-wheel drive model, also with the paddle shift automatic.
Just go out and give it a try; I think you'll like it as much as I like autocrossing mine. But as everyone says, be prepared to replace the front tires fairly often unless you want to make modifications that will knock you out of the F Street class. (I'm beginning to see wear on the outer tread surface after only three autocrosses.)
