M235i - 322 hp/332 tq - $43100
228 - 240 hp/258 tq - $32100
No word on weight, I wanna say the M235 is around 32xx but not sure. Still pricier than I'd want to pay for such a car, but it'll make a nice used car in a few years. Still hoping for that M2 though.

Pretty much how I view every new(er) BMW now, "I wonder how it'll hold up 7 years later?" lol
Edit: I just looked at the pics on the link and the back of that thing is U.G.L.Y. The front and the steering wheel is nice though

I think its real sharp. Much better looking than the 1.
Looks a good bit bigger though, almost the size of the E46 even?
cant say I could bring myself to buy one though, the pricing on luxo cars has gotten out of control.

Agreed, as much as I love this little thing on paper, when you look at what you get dollar for dollar over a '15 GTI it's just not worth it. Assuming a reasonably well optioned 228i would be in the low-40s, you're looking at a $10k+ premium for RWD and 30 more HP with all the same features and creature comforts. Both are german, both will be unreliable out of warranty, both are extremely nice when new.
Now: 07 Porsche Cayman S | 18 VW Tiguan
Then: 18 VW GTI Autobahn | 95 BMW M3 | 15 VW GTI SE | 12 Kia Optima SX | 2009 VW GTI | 00 BMW 540i Sport | 90 Mazda Miata | 94 Yamaha FZR600R | 1993 Suzuki GS500E | 2003 BMW 325i | 95 Saab 900S
Yeah definitely way behind on the performance/dollar curve. You're paying a bit too much extra for some of the luxury features.
It'll be interesting to see what price the A3 comes in at, although I suspect the only Quattro model to come with even a DCT will be the S3. And the S3 will probably be about $40k.
EDIT: Actually all of the A3's will have a DCT. Not bad at all. Now if only they'd fix that reliability

Why are cars now looking so much like Transformers? That car and the C7 case in point
