- M-Performance for the price is a bloody joke.
- Car had LSD which was nice to play with
- Power was fine

Either way, still love the M235i, although this one was $56k

This was about as close as driving an M2 as I could get for a while, and I like it a lot
Yes and yes. I just bought steel braided lines and more aggressive pads to address the soft brakes.

I'm waiting for a solution to the rubbery throw of the shifter. Hopefully someone is working on that now. Otherwise, I'm in heaven with my M235i. For all the guys that have the patience to wait for the M2, you're going to reap a rich reward.
