The 1 series M was never sold at the same time as the 35i, and aftermarket trimming never changed the model. Comparing with older cars is disingenuous, and you might as well call your vehicle a supercar then, since it is probably faster than the M1 too.

Being developed by BMW Motorsports, for a start?
If it helps, think of BMW M as a different car brand from BMW, much like Acura is a different brand from Honda, and Lexus is a different brand from Toyota. Or, to put it another way, you can trim and soup up an Alfa-Romeo to beyond Maserati level, and put a Maserati steering wheel in it, but that doesn't make it a Maserati.
(And some of the above mentioned cars are more similar than the X1 to any M, building on the same platform. The E84 isn't used by BMW M at all).
Enjoy your X1 as an X1. It's a great entry level BMW. Be proud of that. I am.
