+1. What a disappointment. Test drove an M235i and the steering was precise-and-to-the-point but was so numb with ZERO feedback. Now, thinking of going back to E92 M3 just for the (hydraulic) steering feedback alone.

I highly doubt F80 will match steering feedback of E92 M3.

I also test drive a 228i and the steering was very plastic and felt like an Indian nano car (cheapest car on the planet). I like the soft ride for a DD in 228i but everything else was a let down.

M235i/228i doesn't even come close to the driving pleasure of a used 2006 Jetta IMHO. I say this because I drive 06 Jetta as DD (and also own a tata nano car). I hope M2 will have better steering or else I will go back to used E92 M3.

The 8 speed automatic is nothing great. It doesn't even come close to entry level VW shifting.

If I published this review I would definitely quote and bold my favourite part:
