Its funny how BMW just took the gripes that us early adopters had in 2008 and 2009 and turned them into a new car.

-Tighter Suspension
-Wider track for fitting real wheels and tires
-LSD
-Power Bump

The 1M is basically a [Fixed] version of the 135 - which was already great to start with, so to those of us in the know from the beginning, the 1M's success was nothing short of expected
LSD was never going to happen on the non M. Last time did was with the E36 compact.

It's too bad the 1M didn't get the engine they originally had slated for it which was a 360hp S54. That would have been utter perfection if they had gotten it past emissions. I definitely would have snagged one.
