Things the 1M has the 135i didn't :

3M chassis, suspension, control arms, axle, etc
M3 LSD
M3 brakes
Lightened flywheel
Upgraded and much improved cooling
19 inch rims, ps2 tires
Able to fit 295 rubber
Wide body kit
Upgraded exhaust system
40 HP more
70 tq more
And a bunch of other small things

It goes completely differently, I had a 135i for 2 years, great car I really liked it and why I bought the 1m. The engine upgrades are the smallest part of the change.
You forgot quicker M3 steering rack on 1M versus 135i. And despite the bigger wheels more advanced diff and enormous brakes the 1M still weighs about 70 lbs less than 135i. The one big advantage of 135i is price. You can get one for a lot less money and still an awesome car.
