I'm with you on this one.
There is now a 128i, 135i, and 135is.
Since the 2 will be 228i, and M235i it would be unwise to price the M235i too much more over the 228i as there will be diminishing returns in terms of performance for dollar.
If BMW want to price the M235i at the current difference between the 128i and 135is, then the M235i better come pretty much loaded with most options, or at least with leather and premium included and a better sport suspension calibration with M adaptive dampers.
Then it may be worth that price gap.
BTW, take a look at the brakes on the M235i, they are downright huge for a small sport coupe. LOVE IT! My 09 135i had excellent brakes and the front 6pots were so very sweet in fit and function, much nicer that the brakes on my 335i Msport.
Even the rear brakes on the M235i look massive inside the 18" wheels.
Quite nice.
I may end my 335i Msport lease early, instead of 3yrs maybe 2.25 or 2.5.
