You are in a very small minority if you think the 1er doesn't handle well.
I owned one for four years. Awful. The 1M fixed it all, but that was just fixing all the things that they dumbed down from the 3er in the first place.

Stupidly harsh, way too stiff rebound control, no LSD, narrower track than it should have had, sway bar ratios were all sub optimal and the absurdly heavy steering. Even the six puck brakes didn't work properly and ate their seals under mild driving.

Every time we had an E9x loaner I realized what a mistake we'd made in picking that car. Worse, I drove my Z3 M Coupe every day. Kind of funny when a car with rear trailing arms and two piston sliding brakes works so much better.

This was with PSS non run flats. The stock RFTs went in a hurry, they just amplified the bad though, removing them helped, but certainly didn't fix anything.
