Yes this is my M3 also (mine has the DCT gearbox) - first reaction on the 2 cars is:
1M feels more nimble (Like the CSL - had 2 of these) but it feels like you'll have to drive it hard, but it might be a little early to tell as I'm just running it in. My first reactions are that the suspension might need modifying and a different exhaust to bring the noise out more.
M3 unbelievable engine and gearbox (DCT) but I get 18mpg out of it and 9 mpg around the nurburgring. You don't need to drive the M3 at full attack to go fast, but it's a heavier car. I've modified mine and love it.
I'm sure the 1M will be the same but in a different way (Just a bit too early to tell)
Hope that helps
