I took the M235i in for an oil change(the key read showed it also needed plugs and an interior microfilter, and my SA said that he would make sure that the car was thoroughly inspected since the CPO warranty runs out in four days).
As a result I currently have a 330i xDrive M Sport as a loaner. It's a very nice car. If it was RWD and had H-K, Park Distance Control, and the Track Handling Package. it would be a great commuter car. It averaged over 40 mpg at 80 mph, which at least partially compensates for the middling 5.1 second 0-60 time- although I'll admit it feels faster than it is. The M Sport suspension is reminiscent of the suspension tuning of the Club Sport- very capable without being harsh. The sport seats are as always very comfortable and supportive. If anything it reminds me of my beloved E28 535is. Still, I wouldn't trade the 2er for one. Now, the M340i? That's a different story altogether...
