The guy at the counter said," THAT is not an M1, you wouldn't have been able to afford an M1." Makes me want one....

Can't call your car a 1M or anyone who actually knows about it will call you out and laugh at you.
The 1M is a more track oriented type of car. It has the N54 engine which came in 08-10 models of the 135i but it has various other differences such as a wide body, lsd, wider track, etc. Yes you can make your 135i as fast as a 1M in a straight line very easily but if you want to out handle a 1M then that will become very expensive and not worth it at that point.
