+1 I went from a 235 to a 981, and the difference is night and day. Not so much in the interior (although I think the Cayman is nicer), but the steering feel, brakes, chassis, engine and exhaust noise are all WAY better. Which is what mattered to me.

It will be the same with the M2. The 235 was much too roll-y and squishy for me. The M2 will be planted, turn much better, stop much better, AND have additional power. Not that it would need it, but who will complain about that?

The main difference being that the M2 is a real M and the 235 is something less than that. And that's ok...but if the driving experience is what you're after, there's no comparison.
