We've already been over that. Cite a source.
BMW has slowly been very coy about removing these references from M125i and M235i specs. I have looked and this can no longer be referenced from BMW.

However I've owned an M235i and read all reviews and specs before doing so, it was stated as having a forged crank,

Quick reference review here, first search I found:-

Why would BMW do this? To make the M2 engine seem more special? Was it ever there in an M235i in the first place?

I for one am CERTAIN that it was marketed thus, why it is no longer I cannot honestly say.
