Agreed. I just had my 30K service on my 135, and all they did was change the oil, microfilter, and wiper blades. I shit you not.
This despite the fact that I am getting a vibration in the brake pedal under hard braking. Their answer to this--"yes, there is significant wear on the pads and rotors, but not yet within spec to replace under warranty. You are, of course, always welcome to replace at your own cost."

This is a very important question, will BMW be releasing a regular 235i or will they be phased out by the m235i. This leads me to believe that the 235i and m235i will estentially be the same car with the m235i having the M badges littered all over the car. What would make this car special enough to warrent it over a 235i?
Are they calling he new iS cars Mx35i cars? (for a price premium?) This will be one of the first Mx35i cars to hit eh US shores and I hope its more than a tune and body enhancements, we deserve better. here's to hoping. And he's to hoping the M2 is not xdrive or 4 cylinger, automatic.

228i 235i M235i If you look at the pricing/performance, I can't see the iS sticking around. |

The only 235i will be the M235i which will be the replacement for the E82 135i M Sport.

A 128i currently is $31,000 135i is $39,000 135is is $43,000 My next car will hopefully be a 2 series. My current 1er is out of warranty in december and I will be looking at ordering a new 2 series by then. I doubt the 2 series will be cheaper than the current 1 series. So i could see the 228i going for 33k and the M235i for 45k. I was sort of hoping of just getting a stock 235i with no options since my budget for my next car is about 40k tops : (

Awesome.
Dumb question, but what becomes of those late test mules? Do they get crushed, dismantled and parted out, or sold as company demos? And will there be a 4 door m2? Or a wagon M235i with a stick?

At the end of the day, I suppose it doesn't matter since I will turn the car in before any of this matters, but this definitely takes away from the overall experience. Now, if I just knew when the M2 would be available....

According to Scott26, there is a 4-door and a Veloster style hatchback in the works. Bear in mind that since no prototypes have been spotted, so these rumors are only slightly better than speculative.

The Veloster type Gran Sports Tourer could appear as a concept as of now it is a clay model but is no less sportier than a Coupe. Given that the 2002 has led to the 2er and its classic shape. The GST takes its cue from the 2002 touring which was more of a coupe-like fastback rather than a wagon.

Since production begins in November, we should see it get its public debut latest at the 2013 Frankfurt auto show in September.

But will the M235i get any suspension treatment that the E82 135i didnt? Is this just a "rebadge" in a sense?

The M 235i will effectively be the Coupe variant of the M135i available in Europe. Of course designated the 2er. But with the standard 2er Coupe receiving a more sportier suspension and steering changes over the F20 expect the M235i to progress these changes further possibly giving you slight goosepimples. Saving full goosepimples for the M2.
