If the consensus is that the M235's steering may feel worse than a 135, that would probably break the deal for me.
If you think the 135i had vague on center feel, then test drive a 335i sport.
My 335i Msport's steering is very vague on center, near lifeless.
Heft is lighter than my 135i, but that's not the major issue, it's the lifeless steering. Yes, it's very direct and accurate but without much feel to what's happening. It's more video game like.
Comparing my 335i's steering to my former 135i, the 135i's steering was excellent.

I think what you suggested is true, it was the tall steering ratio.
