They rank them, from best to worst:
1. 228i
2. M2
3. 1M
4. M235i
An interesting read. They struggled to choose between the top 2, but the bottom 2 were easy (for them). Interesting article, likely to spark some debate (and hate mail), but I found it worth the read.

It is road and track after all...  .
Haven't read the article and since I've seen the result and I can probably guess how they came to there conclusion.
I get what they are saying when it comes making a value purchase. A 228 ( or 230) with a limited slip diff is a helluva car and a great daily driver. Actually it's the best " daily driver " in the 2 series lineup probably because it's still light and nimble.... And if you did a track day you would have a ton of " mod money " left over .. But at the end of the day there are two cars on that list selling over MSRP still and those are clearly the ones to own. |
Yeah. Their real argument was that it was the most balanced - the others basically had more power than could be used, except on a less technical track - 228i was more sport than muscle. A little weak, but they basically liked that you were always driving it at the edge of its capabilities. Meh.
