  • 135i steering is very heavy, like a Mini Cooper, the 235i is much lighter and seems more “pointy”.
  • Traction - I lost traction twice in the 135i (oversteering), could be the rubbish Potenzas. Haven’t lost traction in my 235i with PS4s tyres.
  • Gearing, thought it’d be the same, but the 135i seemed to hang at high revs, even with the gearbox in drive vs sport. The shift up in auto mode (in normal - not ragging it driving) seemed to be just over 3k revs, in the 235i it’s more 2-2500 and feels a bit smoother.
It sounds like you enjoy the driving experience of the 2 more than you do the 1, is that an accurate interpretation?
