Now, since there is a 1M, of course it's a better idea to buy that for 48k instead of buying the 135i and trying to make it as nimble as the 1M. But for us that already own (and have modded) the 1er's of yore, it's just too small of a gap to buy a brand new 1M @ MSRP.
I love how the thread started with a clear goal statement: stock 1M vs tuned 135i.
Now we are talking about suspension and price points for building the 1M. Hahaha.
We definitely aren't busy enough right now. We all have great cars.

Its not just the cost of the mods, those with 135s have to factor in the difference between the selling price of their 135 and purchase price of the 1M. That could be another 15-35k depending.
