Having driven both spiritedly on a backroad I must say I prefer the 1M over the M2 in almost every way. The 1M feels more special, has much more communicative steering, a more spartan interior and a better exhaust note in my opinion.
Power delivery in both feels similar, and my gripe there is that an S54, S65 or similar NA engine would make the car simply divine. That being said, I do prefer the seats on the M2 to the stripper 1M I drove.
Both are incredible cars for a daily driver, but the M2 never felt special whereas the 1M had that going for it in spades.
