So apart of the handling everything seem better with the 1M! I still wonder why the M2 is getting all the attention now when the 1M didn't get any back then.

The 1m had plenty of rave reviews. I'd even argue that it was actually better received by the press in it's day. The Motortrend guys just weren't big fan big fans of it.

Anyway they don't show up in this section of the forum as they don't need to with their superior car:

There is also a nice 1M-M2 comparo in the July 2017 issue of Automobile magazine, in the Upshift section on page 88.

"The 1M's allure is undeniable, certainly in part because it is so hard to come by. BMW sold just 740 examples in the US and only 220 in Canada during the car's short run. The rear badge wears no number, just the letter M, as if that's all that needs to be said. Seeing one in the flesh at all is a rarity and a delight."
