My only concern is that after having my car for 8 months already and then waiting another year+ for the M2 (during which time i will be driving the 235 still) I dont want the M2 to feel too familiar and eventually get boring after a year or so of owning it (if its possible to even call such a car boring ).

I know the interior is very similar to my current car other than a few extra details such as M shift paddles and bits of carbon and alcantara around the car.

So really where the decision comes down to is how different it is to drive vs the M235i and the differences in sound etc (I have the M Performance exhaust onstalled on the 235 and it sounds brilliant)

Or am I better off waiting a bit longer until I can afford an M3/M4?

Essentially looking for someone who has driven an M2 and an M235i
Do some searching... there are some threads that discuss this. Overall consensus seems to be that it is VASTLY different and well worth the upgrade, but cannot speak to it myself. Good luck.

Given that this is an M2 forum, I suggest searching for M235. Would likely yield some good info for you.
