I will probably be happier with an 1M, but the M135i does seem like a better daily drive

what do you guys think? should I go for an 1M instead?
The 1M is a wonderful machine and I would love to have one, but from experience, I should think it's a slightly extreme driving experience for daily usage.

The M135i is not a car I have yet driven, but I expect it to provide most of the performance and thrills but in a more user-friendly and practical package.

A 1M is practical for a coupe. An M135i, particularly in 5dr form, is just practical full-stop.

However, the 1M is verging on iconic and the M135i is unlikely to do the same, so really it's whatever you prefer.
