I must admit I was sceptical about owning a BMW with the new platform but it made sense after taking my M135i for a test drive.
The M235i I'm not a big fan of the rear end but it does look good.. when it gets going..
Who can complain when you're getting these goodies at a fairly reasonable price.
B48 engine with a bigger turbo, strengthen pistons, conrods and bigger main barings
Upgraded cooling
M Performance specific tuning
M Performance sports brakes
M Performance sports seats
M Performance sport exhaust
M Performance aerodynamics
M Performance suspension
Or maybe just everything is labeled as M lately but I like it.
If I was to nitpick I would prefer the AWD to send a little more power to the rear rather than the 50/50 split.

M Performance is not M 
Anyway the problem is not the platform, nowadays Bmw offers 2 tons suv with 7 seats, hybrid/electric motors, 4 wheels drive and whatever, a FWD 4 cylinders is not the end of the world.
The problem is that ugliness. |
