No one can answer that except you.
The M235 is a great car and in many ways is a much better car than a E82 135i. But, like all newer cars, the technology fest also takes away other things away from each previous version. I wasn't impressed enough on the test drive I had of a M235 to consider changing my 135i for one, but, plenty of others have changed and not regretted it.

Weirdly enough, I also prefer the 228i over the 128i, even though I did love my 128i to death.

I'm not a BMW expert - but the steering is definitely "softer" in the 2.
I adjusted the sports settings so I can have just sport suspension without drive train. That gives me the tighter steering I'm used to without burning extra fuel in sport mode. I'm happy with that |

I think the only 1 beside the 1M that has any shot at being a collector car is the 135is. If it makes the cut, a long shot, it will be a minor one at best.

But the torque and mileage on the 228i make for a nice commuter, IMO.

Tried the new M235 but I haven't driven the 135is. The M235 felt refined almost like the new F30 where it feels kind of soft and not sticking with previous BMW DNA. Awful lot of M badges plastered all over the car and seems tacky. Even real M cars don't have that many M badges. I enjoyed its size, comfort and power... then right after that I test drove a 1M.
Without putting the M235 down anymore, lets just say that I prefer and bought the used 1M right away. Even when it is obviously used and more expensive than a brand new estoril blue M235.

I'm pretty sure if a 1M is a choice, it is always the right choice.. Regardless of price. I would imagine they will hold their value forever.
BTW, why are we comparing 228i to 135i? Someone said a key term, "hot rod" when describing the 135i and that is the one thing holding me back before I trade my 135i in for a m235xi. Sad Times. I hope I'm making the right decision. YOLO I guess. Isn't that what kids are saying these days? |
