There is little doubt that overall these two cars (1M and M3) are catering for different needs with the M3 aimed more towards the better allrounder as always while the smaller, lighter 1M being the more focused driver's car that will be better suited to the track and dynamic driving.

A perfect addition to the M family.
I hope so. That was my logic when I bought the 135i. It was more tossable than 3 series but still quite hefty.
