Want a tune, more power and a happier motor? Invest in a high quality intercooler. Back in the day, before the engine computer would save your motor, an intercooler was always a must to keep chances of detonation low while running extra manifold pressure!
I've spoken to 5 tuners in the UK, all of which have said that the "mild" remaps do not require any change with regards to cooling. Apparently the 1M has better cooling than the 135i as well and also the boost levels are not being increased to levels that are even beginning to push the engine.

However I will check again with them to see what the deal is
