I do think you're crazy going with the above as you'll never recoup the 6k when you move on. Have you checked insurance yet?
How long have you had the car? If not long I'd just enjoy it as it is and research some of the other mods available. Suspension, LSD and chipping. Have you been in a modded 135i?
I personally prefer the sleeper look of the 135i over the 1M as if suits where my car is kept.
As for the MStyle bashing, I have used them for minor bodywork and was happy with their work. But for tuning I'd use either one of the companies that specialise in that area (evolve, dms, birds ...) but if I knew then what I know now I'd start with a Cobb. I did have issues after tuning and it was eventually identified that my VANOS solenoid was iffy.
Where abouts in the country are you based?

Thanks for the advice - First Off I am absolutely loving the car as it is - I am based in central london and do a fair bit of town driving. Because of this i feel the car has plenty of power as it is but i just wish it looked a bit meaner. I got the car in December to replace my Audi S3 which was stolen during a burglary. I went and test drove the 135i and loved the power and the way it drove right away and bought it(probably slightly hastily) as I wanted to replace my Audi as quickly as possible (it was my 21st Bday present and i was pretty heartbroken)
I Suppose i Just want to make my car look a bit special to separate it from every single 118 Msport i see driving around that look exactly the same - and i figured that the 1M kit was the best option - unless anyone else has any ideas ?
Over to you ...
