I'm thinking that grabbing a 135i then upgrading the suspension and putting a 1M aero kit on it would still have been less than this project by a large margin so I don't get that either.
Aside from that, this is an incredible almost shocking display of what the n54 can handle. Honestly it's amazing, and I'm actually thinking of selling my n55 msport e92 bc of stuff like this I keep seeing!!! Lol.
Good luck man!!!

I can relate as well.. Maybe in the US, where the car appreciated quite a lot, I wouldn't have gone this route... But where I live it hasn't and never will (there's around 25 1Ms in my country) so it makes no difference... Anyway the n54 is fantastic.. I came from n55 but the development and tuning for n54 is insane!!
