Please enlighten me.
I agree. I don't think it will be that much more though for the reasons in my previous post.

Adding an "M" to the front of 235i doesn't make it more than what a 235i would have been. Adding the "M" is just marketing, like calling a 335i sport with an M steering wheel and M body kit a 335i Msport.
In this case they don't have a 335i to add an M body kit to, because as with the 135i the body was part of the base 135i.
With the 128i you could add the Msport pkg to make it look very similar to the base 135i.

The M235i looks like it's simply adding a PPK type tune to what would be a new 235i.
