No question that it is what it is, although not an as modified car you would generally find on a BMW dealer's lot. Finally, my car has more M (and I don't mean M Sport) parts on it than most 1 series cars. It has almost a complete M3 suspension (M3 FSB (E93), M3 front control arms and tension rods, M3 rear sub frame bushings and M3 rear guide rods and upper links) to go along with Koni Sport adjustable dampers and larger wheels and tires. My car also has a Dinan Stage 2 tune and an ETS intercooler among other performance mods. I call it a 135i M coupe. It is a car BMW should have built, but didn't.
