The 235 handles better, looks sportier, and has a nice interior (In My opinion)
Weighs less so it you feel the HP more.
But the E90 has the better engine

Less carbon build up, no fuel injector problems, no more vacuum actuated wastegates, no cooling problems, etc. etc.

I couldn't run from my 335 fast enough to the new M235i.

I miss the torque but the N54 only worked half the time anyway.

Thats good to know
All the bmw pubs claim the n55 has the same torque but lower rpms

I did.

FBO 2010 E90 335i => FBO 2014 M235i

Although the N54 car was a teensy bit faster, I'm very happy with the move.
