Where is your large enough gap there ?

There isn't and that is why 1 Series M got only 340 PS. Originally the 135i was meant to be an M1, but the costly M developpment costs were not greenlighted. The easiest way was just to put the 335i engine into the the 1 Series Coupé. For this reason there was no 130i Coupé with the NA 3.0 I6 with 265 PS, but only the 125i Coupé with that same engine in 218 PS spec. This it will look like this for the top engines:
1/2 Series: 4 cylinders
3/4 Series: 6 cylinders
5/6 Series: 8 cylinders
7/8 Series: 12 cylinders
