The clutch...
And the "rawness"
But I'll turn my 135i into a monster just give me some time... And oh yah.. Money lol
I definitely get you on the "rawness" part. The Miata was very barebones compared to the 1-series. It was loud, bumpy, and rackety.

The shifter in my Miata was pretty tight with a short throw, which I really liked compared to any other car. However, the BMW Performance SSK really tightened things up the BMW. I drove my Miata after driving the BMW with the SSK and clutch stop, and definitely prefer the BMW's shifting now.

I had Bride Low Maxx seats in the Miata which were great. Loved how tight they held me in. The 1-series sport seats are great though for stock seats, plus they are very adjustable.

Overall, I love how reliable and stable the BMW feels. Go FBO and E85 and you'll never look back.
