And yes, the e46 3 series of 20years ago was a reference, if you want the same sort of experience m140i or m240i is the way to go, 3 series of today is 5 series of yesterday and it’s not even spacious
Thank you, that's most helpful. I will make enquiries with my dealer.

I agree the M135i has fantastic balance. It was my favourite car when I was invited to a track day with a selection of M-cars, including the E92 M3, F10 M5 and F12 M6.

Shortly after buying my F31, I drove an F32 435i. The coupe felt much more agile as well, and I note from the table in the OP that it has the same sway bars as the F30. What would explain the difference in handling and steering?

I also note that the LCI 440i has the same diameter sway bar up front as my M-sport F31, but thicker ones at the back end. Is the LCI 440i RSB the same part number as the M235i's?
Yes, i should update the table but the 440i and m135-235-140-240 share the same part number for anti roll bars
