I kept my M Coupe to 145k miles, it was pretty much trouble free. The 135i was good (and the N54 was just a little nicer and torquier than the N55), especially once they got the HPFP sorted, but we wanted the extra space and doors of the X1 but didn't like the larger size of the F30, so it was an easy choice. If it were my car, an M Sport would have made more sense (but it would have needed a stick), so I'd keep looking for one to test drive. It's impressive to me how much the X1 feels like the 135i, it's really a great driving thing considering it has xDrive and sits up fairly high.
