I would say, how do you know they are the same? Just because YOU say so? Or just because you look at the outside appearance of the engine in a side by side picture? Any changes to the inlet manifold would not be evident by outward appearance obviously.

I am not saying I am certain there is a definite difference between the 1M and the 335i but you should cool your jets a bit until you know for certain. It is mentioned in several publications so I leave the possibility that there might be some minor differences.
