I'm assuming you've driven the 1M? Personally I owned both, a 2011 N55 135i and a 2011 N54 1M...I kept the 1M for two main reasons....if I kept the 135 I would be modding it with upgraded suspension, adding a quad exhaust, installing a tune, adding bigger wheels/tires, $10,000 worth of upgrades when the 1M has all of that and more right out of the box. The second reason I kept the 1M is it just feels right, powerful torque, deep growl, tight handling, always brings a smile when I'm driving it...I might have a bad day and 10 minutes later I've got a shit eating grin on my face....the 1M rocks. And it's not a common car. Even here in Germany as I drive around I see variations of the 1series every 1-2 minutes, thousands and thousands on the road. This base I work on has at least 10 128s/135s....it has 4-5 M3s....only one 1M. I'm a member of "M"Flight here and there are probably 400 M3s in the group, I think I'm the only 1M, maybe one other...I've really only seen 2-3 1Ms in the wild here in Germany but literally thousands of 116/120/125/128/130/135s......so keeping the 1M just makes sense...hardly anyone else I meet has ever seen one...hopefully that translates into better values in 10-20 years from now when I grow up and decide to sell...BTW, I'm 52
