I wouldn't say the 1M is anymore tail happy than a 135i, it's more direct.

It rewards drivers and punishes little girls.
A sudden stab on the throttle mid corner results in an abrupt sideways step of the tail, provided you're ready for it, it's one hell of a fun car to be in and I absolutely love it.
The 135 would respond more doughy to driver inputs which takes away from the fun and gives less confidence so you don't go there to begin with.

I can see many getting into trouble with a 1M, but only because we all think we're Schumachers!

... But back to the OP, glad I can still get PSS from Tirerack!
I hear you can pick up R888's for a good price on ebay.
