All my friends refer the 1M as the M1 but of course they all own other brands of cars. The only unique naming of a M Car comes with the Z4M and the Mcoupe which were not mass produced and aren't as popular. I think Terra is referring to the 1M when asking the guy at the dealership and he was being sacarstic and referred to the M1 which is a vintage car back way when and at this day and age does cost a significant amount of money since its a collectors item/car. So lets give her a break. I think all the information previously provided for the 1M vs the 135i is good enough but if there are any other questions I think everyone is glad to answer them but lets stop with the 1M and M1 confusion..
Once the M2 comes out (the replacement for the so called 1M and 1 series) there will be alot less confusion in the naming of the M series cars.

Well, just to make sure those in the know know that I am confused, I have license plate: "DHW M1"
