WHile I wont disagree with this statement and maybe EVERY BMW is overpriced, but after taking delivery of my 435 GC and lamenting the things it DOESN'T have for the 65k I paid (Ventilated seats, better sound system etc...)
I will say that driving it is simply fantastic and so it goes with the 2 series- the M235 is just fantastic in every way and at 52k doesn't have ventilated seats, BLIND SPOT monitoring, a sound system thats as good as a Nissan Sentra etc... but oh my does it drive sweet- power to spare excellent handling and feels planted for such a small car. There is a price to be paid for that.

If the M235i is 42k loaded Id buy one just to have!!
