But because I don't have a time machine and because I already have a tuned 135i with an LSD, m3 suspension etc. - and the current market value of an N54 135i, It would have cost me $15-20k more to change into an actual 1M. Both Mybad135i and Venom had insurance claims too which mitigated much of the cost of their conversions.
Completely understand your situation, you already have a lot of time and money invested in your current car. I don't understand the "just buy a 1M" comments. I can also see someone building a 1M look-a-like for almost half of a used 1M. Hell some used 135i's are selling under $20k. That leaves an enormous modding budget.
