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

I will disagree. I saw a 2 series car in person and it looked ok...nothing special. I also saw spy pics of M2 and that thing is a whole different animal. Wide body plus suspension/brake upgrades are reason enough to get it over pedestrian 235.
Once M2 comes out you will not even look twice at 235...at that time you will also forget all about 335is or 1M.
