So... this 390 PS tune from BMW for their press cars makes total sense to me. I think there are still some cars out there with this tune.

You don't have an aggressive tune on your 135i obviously, I am sure you opted more for reliability. I think you have a bit more hp than stock 1M but probably still less tq, so with M3 chassis/suspension it makes sense that a 1M could stick with your tuned 135i. Afterall, enginewise only, it actually is no different than a tuned 135i.
