I agree with your entire statement.
The stock handling and ride of the 135i is where this car needs the most work.
OP, if you're ordering a new 135i, then it'll be the new N55 twin scroll, not the N54 you tested.
I'll be very interested in your assessment of the N55 version compared to your review of the N54.
The N55 is a different engine, and it seems BMW did some minor suspension tweaks as well.
Will you get the DCT or the manual?
The new 1M should be really nice, but I'm thinking for someone like you an aftermarket adjustable suspension might be just as nice as what M will do.
And, you'll save a good chunk o change over getting the full on M.
Also, I agree with you that the stock power of this car is plenty.
It agrees with the chassis as it's not too much engine for the chassis, although the suspension is not up to the stock power, imo.
More power without added control is like trying to bake the cake before you've mixed the batter.
BTW, you weren't holding the camera while driving, were you?
On that last left the camera went 90 degrees to the right while the road went left. I was like, "whaaaaa......."!
