I do love the look of the 1M, but when all is said I walked out of the dealer $8K below sticker with a new 135I and done 100% of the labor on mods myself and I figure I have about $8K still to play with (which should cover turbo, fuel system and a few other upgrades) and with that I would have my sights on much more than a 1M. I would bet my car is a better DD for my 100 mile round trip to work with a much better stereo!!!
This article did make me think my next mod should be a new 1M steering rack, which should be easy enough to get.
All joking aside, because I would hate to ruffle up all the M purist, the 1M is an awesome car without a doubt.

If I could afford to make an exchange for a 1M, I would..but I can't. So I've been looking into the M cars' steering too.
These are the only part #s I found different, so is this the part that makes the steering tighter on the M cars?
