I agree with the comment above. I would not pay M price for the same engine in the 235i.

The "S" motor is what made the M cars unique, but that started to die down slowly. A single, twin scroll turbo is still not as powerful as even the N54 which I would have preferred to have but thats gone.

If anything it would be wiser to just get a 235i, add LSD and tune that to produce the extra 50-75hp and save on the $10k+ difference IMO.

However, I would take an N54 335is or 1M over the 235i/M2
