It doesn't bother me so much that BMW made the 235 as much as it bothers me that it made it as a 2 series.
I can just imagine the following scenario: customer goes into a BMW dealership and says he wants four doors but he has seen great reviews of the BMW 2 series. The SA says "You are in luck; BMW now makes a 2 series sedan" and sells him/her this vehicle that is completely unrelated to the rest of the 2 series (if anything, it is really a 1 series car). Eventually, when he figures out that this is not a four door version of a 240i he feels cheated. As he should.
And...yes...customers should go into dealerships having done their research but that doesn't always happen.
