I'll see how the 428i feels and go from there! THanks!

I was in the same boat as you for my most recent acquisition. After driving the 428 and 235 I immediately had an answer. The engine sound and handling made the decision easy for me. However, I will concede that the 4 has a more adult/refined look. If the decision didn't become immediately clear after test-driving both cars, and practicality and/or looks don't really tip the scales either way for you, then just take the best deal.
I found the ride, acceleration and road feel to be clamshit crazy different between the 428 and 235. As such, the two cars didn't warrant cross-shopping after testing.
