Amen. The 1M is the one to have, everything else is pretty much just a 1-series. This thread is a bit goofy.

I agree that the 135is won't be much more than a footnote in the history of the 1-series. I certainly didn't get the IS package for any other reason than wanting the factory options offered by the package. From a collectibility or desirability standpoint, limited production numbers and factory options aren't irrelevant, they certainly do contribute to higher valuation and potential selling price. Buyers looking for a classic automobile in excellent, original condition aren't usually the same buyers looking for a track day car to mod.
