i think thats a fair point.
i would say the cars definitely feel pretty similar overall, having owned both. the 1m is more jumpy and eager to turn in, and swing the tail around. personally, i am faster on the track in my 1M than i was in my M3, and thats partially because i feel more confident in the 1M.
the engines are very different as is the smoothness in the driving experience. for me personally, driving the 6mt in the 1M is a much easier experience than in the m3. the revs drop and raise very quickly in the m3, so it was more of a challenge to drive smoothly around town. it also had a boosted feeling clutch, so for me, it took a lot of focus.
i really like both cars, but prefer the aggression and more immediate nature of the 1M, and the fact that excitement and power are more accessible on a daily basis.
i think that point came accross well in the interview, and was why one guy chose the m3 over the 1M and the other vice versa.
overall, fun video. i enjoyed the presentation.
