About the only difference I see between the 2 is the aforementioned sunroof and available DCT. (Ignoring the M's suspension, brakes, diff etc.) I previously owned a 135i (MSport - Manual) and traded it for a new 1M to use as my DD. What I disliked about the 135i was the harsh ride of the run-flat tires, my 1M has a better ride even though it has a more performance oriented suspension compared to the 135 MSport. Do I miss the sunroof, yeah sure, I always drive manuals so to me the DCT does not come into play.
Both cars are excellent DD's, to be honest if cost is no object try and find a 1M, if you want to save some serious $$ I suggest looking for a slightly used 135i MSport and then spend a couple of grand on some goodies.
