I concede i have limited time in the 2er behind the wheel...but nothing impressed me about the car. It felt more like a basic Audi or VW.

everyone is entitled to their opinions but even comparing your limited experience with a 228i to 135is which you owned and currently owning a 1M, you are comparing the top of the e82 to the lower end of of 2er. I should hope a 135is would be a superior experience on the autoX than a 228i.
a 128i and a 135i in factory form in opinion need a ton of work. Run Flats, Oversteer, rubbery rear end combined with no LSD etc. etc. I honestly feel the m235i is a better out of the box car than the 135i ever was and I LOVE THE E82 platform and have zero intentions of buying a 2 series.
I do not think it is fair to discredit the 2 series as a poor car. I think it is a great car and it will absolutely serve as a solid introduction level bmw. My main point in my original post is the attitude people have toward new cars and how defensive people get over their current cars of the previous gen.
