So I know everyone missed this... but Audi S3.

That is a direct competitor for an M235i... it doesn't have the sweet 6 nor the RWD handling dynamics but it's still a solid car if you are looking for a different experience.

I test drove one and was not that impressed, it had nicer interior and looked great but the performance was lacking. Ended up buying this heap: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1891649

I think BMW has done its customer a major DISSERVICE by making and selling the front wheel drive based 235 as if it is part of the standard rwd 2 series. The real 2 series is superb; IMHO the 235 is mediocre.

But if you are going to do comparisons, you need to look front wheel based all wheel drive cars.

I see you are in Florida so all wheel drive on a sedan is not essential. If you can live with 2 doors, the real 2 series is great. If not, take a look at the Audi A3 and its variants.
