Along with this weekend's upcoming GCBC review of the 2015 Audi S3, here's Alex Dykes' review of the 2015 BMW M235i.
We assume BMW doesn't want to call the M235i a full-on M car for two reasons. There'll be an M2. Plus, the company probably didn't want this car to be constantly compared to the previous-generation BMW 1M, which will not the all-rounder that the M235i is, was just plain ridiculous.
And yet reviewers consistently report that the M235i is BMW doing what BMW does best. The M235i, they say, is BMW at its core, BMW like BMW used to be, a true successor to the E46 M3.
What does Alex On Autos' Alex Dykes think? As always, there's no more thorough or detailed video review on YouTube.

In old age, the Toyota Prius is distinctly less popular now than it was in 2007, in second-gen form when fuel prices were a concern and the core Prius Liftback didn't have competition from Toyota's other Prii, the smaller Prius C and larger Prius...
- Watch 2016 Scion Im Video Review - Alex On Autos
Yesterday, we published the Alex On Autos video review of the 2016 Scion iA, a sedan version of the Mazda 2, a car which won't be coming to the United States. But the iA wasn't the only new Scion with which Alex On Autos' Alex Dykes...
- Watch 2016 Volvo Xc90 Video Review - Alex On Autos
Alex Dykes calls this video review of the all-new, second-generation, 2016 Volvo XC90 a "first drive" review, but at 21 minutes and 32 seconds, it's nearly as thorough as most Alex On Autos reviews. Which is to say, more thorough and detailed than...
