I'm the 135i that did the 1:41, it was my first time at that track. I was on stock rims + run flats because I didn't want to wear out my aftermarket tires and rims. The other 135i has been to that track 1 time previously and has 0 suspension work done. I asked about the 1M from a friend that knows him and I was told that he has tracked his previous car which was an older M3 so he has been to the track.
Sure the drivers were different but it seems that all 3 were around Intermediate but basically a 135i with less than 2k in upgrades beat a 1M's time. The 1M had way more track time on that day as well since he went with a more expensive company that allows you way more track time than the group the 135i's went with.

From a friend that knows him yada yada yada...so not only is your information second hand, but it could have also been altered by the person who told you.
I wonder what the 1M driver's story is, first hand. For all we know, he may have been to the track before, but this could have been his first time in the 1M and he was getting familiarized with the car.
