Yep i'd agree the new M135 is just that with a N55....
Also getting back to the 1M. BMW released this car as a "Halo" model to raise awareness and shift dead metal before the new 1 series hit the road.
To do this cheaply they raided the parts bin (and why not the parts bin is mega good).
Audi did the same with the RS3 and at the same time.
The 1M (as was the RS3) was a marketing ploy but it actually turned out to be a very special car and already a classic.
Z4 still makes me smile more on a sunny day though
