JB4 in a 135 does 0-60 in what...low 4s? Seems obvious that this will outperform the stock 1M 0-60 given the times we have seen (4.5 best I believe). Once a software tune is available for the 1M it will certainly be quicker to 60 then the 135 as the power is better directed to the pavement.

Absolutely. The first thing I noticed after the Cobb AP was how inadequate the contact patch is on the 135. I posted this in another thread with regard to the quality of M parts vs the stock 135i parts:

While I find it amusing that they put the M on our shifters, wheels, steering wheels, and sills, our cars are miles from M and ergo do not deserve the badge on the back.
