I am not sure where the "not as tunable" comments come from.

My E90 is getting up there so I have been looking as a replacement for a daily but I will probably get into the M240i.
yes, they are great. Coming from an n54 which is throw tunes on it central to a n55 is where the not as tuneable comes from. Obviously they're both great platforms to tune, but there's much more responsiveness from an n54 that gets the tune vs a n55 that gets the same tune. But if i remember correctly the newer n55 comes with a more updated forged crank and etc etc which is nice i guess. A change from a n54 to n55 will always be a noticeable difference
but i will likely not add aftermarket stuff to the 235i until a couple of years, if i even do at all.
