I dont know if I would say its the prettiest car but it certainly will suprise a ton of people on the track and street. Pretty sure he has downpipe, exhaust, filter, intercooler, fuel pump, alcohol injection, and one of the more aggressive tunes and he has over 400whp... to go along with the coils and diff making it awesome.. granted his warranty is thrown out of the window but for him, its not an issue...
If I were to get a BMW l would get a 535 with the M sport kit and throw a JB or Vischnu sp? chip on it and call it a day.

I looked into similar such mods when I was considering the 135i. Even with such mods, I am glad I went the Z path. HP is not everything, but balance is huge with sports cars. That said, the 135i just feels off one you toss it into a corner. Granted, I have not driven a 1m coupe, I would be more apt to say I would prefer it over your friend's modded 135i.
Your friend should watch that Hitler 1M coupe vid. IT IS HILARIOUS and all true!! LOL!
If I were going European, I would get a TTRS over even a 1M coupe....
