Based on all this 'positioning" I believe the only real potential benifit to the 1M over the 135i is the suspension.
Power wise, a few minor mods to the N54 will easily put it with or ahead of the 1M. Potential for the engine of 135i or 1M should really not be different.
The aesthetic of the 1M does not do it for me. It is too conspicuous.
After all this, the extra $$$ just makes it seem crazy to me. The only thing that people will be paying extra for is the status.
This might be my last BMW - I don't like where they are going.
