M235i is front-wheel drive ???
Can someone confirm this ? If true, this is heresy ... BMW has been the pinacle of rear-wheel driving engineering.
Also, I spec on the BMWUSA site says top speed is electronicaly limited to 130 mph ? WTF ?? The car can do 155. If both of the above is true, that is a game-changer for me. |

I read on the internet somewhere only the right rear is powered?
Although, with the e-diff, that is closer to reality than I feel comfortable. |

The correct answer would have been to direct the noob to the 2-series forum so that he leaves us alone.

Yeah def not front wheel drive, I've driven one, def rear wheel.
As per the lower top speed, I have seen it to be 130 on the US specs but it should be 155. Probably a mistake.
