Good handling and feeling like you handle better are two different things. Just something to think about.

Pretty sure the 135 will hit the bumpstops in very hard cornering (track etc.). My 330i ZHP did when stock, and it had a harder suspension than the 1.
A set of sways took care of that problem without altering the ride quality significantly. It's not like the sways available for non-race cars make the car lift a wheel during cornering... you still have similar suspension travel - just not on the bump stops.
Besides this, the front and rear lean rates must be balanced in order for the car to feel right (neutral). I think a rear sway (or perhaps front + rear combo) will help the 1.
