I'd rather get a 1m over an m3 anyday. From the top of my head I know it has a perfect gear box and much wider wheel setup. Highly doubt bolt on kits would make a 135i the SAME as a 1m. True, bolt on kits could make a135 faster than a 1m around any track, but you won't be getting that M feeling those Germans designed for it.
Personally I'd save up for a boxter spyder for sure!!
