BMW increased the base price of the 135i to give them some more room to price the 1M. They promised something in between the 135i and M3 base prices, so a healthy increase in the 135i makes the new 1M look like a better value than it would have with the "old" 135i pricing.

I disagree. BMW will be selling a lot more 135i's than 1///Ms. So why jeopardize sales of its better seller just to 'justify' a price for the 1///M, makes no sense.
