If BMW want to price the M235i at the current difference between the 128i and 135is, then the M235i better come pretty much loaded with most options, or at least with leather and premium included and a better sport suspension calibration with M adaptive dampers.
Then it may be worth that price gap.

I disagree. The M235i will be at the same level of price that the 135is is. Just because there will be no 235i does not magically make the M235i any less of a car or any cheaper.
I think the reason this is not a problem is because most people will be ok with a loaded 228i which will cost as much as a base M235i. The enthusiasts more than likely opt for a 235i with m sport anyways. The tune and exhaust are added perks.
