I think the 2er is a great car for what it is ( again not comparing to the 1er in my original post, only did so after your opened that discussion) and that we can respect new and previous models without feeling like the new models are insults to the previous as we so commonly see on m3post vs m4post

yes i realise that....however i feel the 2er is more a product of marketing and 'hype' than it is substance. I don't see a lot of substance that wasn't there before. The M235i is a recycled 135is....and the 228 is a 4 cylinder generic BMW in the most generic way possible.....my point is that the media have created the 'fuss'...IMO the car itself is not as interesting as a "NEW" idea as the media make it out to be.
do i think the M235i is still a 'good car'...maybe. but it's too heavy...too ugly....and has ruined one of the best parts of the 135, IMO...the heavy steering feel.
