I have an F80 and my wife had a 228i for a while.

The size difference you perceive when driving the cars is significant. The 2 series is very similar to my E46 in how the car feels around you and how big it feels on the road. The F80 feels much bigger.

That's not a dig on my F80 at all, as I love it and The size is not a downside for me, but taking the same car and making it the size of a 2 series will be that much "better" and more agile.

Also, by the time the CS is out, the M4 will be dead, and the CS will go away just as the G80 is coming out. So it's more like the CS is a perfect way to fill the time gap between the M3/4 generations with a car that has similar performance.
