Hatch?

Personally I like it, and I'd love to see an M235i AWD hatch version, not likely though.

Nope, I'd like to see a 2 series hatch. Although if the M135i were available in the US I'd buy one in a minute.

What my ideal 228i Msport would look like:

Maybe if it was a real hatch like the Z4 M coupe. Not the ugly square back style they call hatchbacks nowadays.

Do you feel as if you will miss your M3? im kind of debating between M235i 6Mt or an M3 with same options as yours

435i with M-sport starts at $50,575 with destination fee.

So difference of $6,550. Apples to apples comparison. (even then the M235i has more standard features like $650 Msport brakes )

You could also factor in the M235i has more hp/tq. Adding additional cost for PPK on the 435i.
You are correct. I did not factor m-performance goodies in the price of the 4 series. Makes the price of the 2 series very desirable in fact.
Is this price including options? And which one

I wouldn't get rid of my M3 for an M235i. Only add.

Yes, it just adds fog lights and doesn't have dual exhaust.

From the German price list ( thanks for posting it! ) I can see that the optional 19s have the same width of both the wheels and tires as the standard 18s. I.e only 245s for the rear. Hmmm...that's not what I'd hoped for. You can of course get wider after market wheels I'm just afraid 8J and 245 might be all it can take before rubbing. I hope not, since I think this car needs 265s to look the best. The 1M's 10J with 265s would look awesome on the M235i just as they do on the 1M.

M235 looks like a perfect replacement for the E46 version 330is. Size and weight are comparable but this car is so much faster! 4.8s 0-60! Will definitely have me thinking about how long to hold on to my 328i.

The M235i ditches the fog lights for additional intake surface for cooling.

Love it. BMW has been coming up with some fresh designs recently on its compact sportier models. Interior is a big step up

Good question since the info here states:
•M Performance Sports Suspension - 20mm lowering, bespoke shock absorbers and shorter red painted coil springs, available from launch

Is that 20mm lower than the base 2-series or 20mm lower than the M adaptive suspension of the M235i? And is the M adaptive suspension 10mm lower than the base cars or is it the same height as the base car?

Edit: It seems that the M adapative of the M235i is 10mm lower than the base so you are probably right that the M performance suspension is 10m lower than the "standard" suspension of the M235i and 20mm lower than the base car.
