I don't have enough seat time on the 1M to make that call from apples to apples experience. My 1M have some quite extensive suspension parts with the previous owner's intention to have it purposely mod strictly as a street/track car. It's dialed in with a lot of negative camber and mated with a 200 treadwear summer tire. My M2CS was stock with pilot super sport and I left it at that for 3 years until i sold it.
I will say that the biggest difference is the steering and power. I forgot how nice hydraulic steering feel was in an M car compared to the e-steering on new Ms. Been over 5 years since i had a hydraulic steering from the E90 M3. The steering felt a little heavy in the M2CS in sport mode (even more resistance in sport+) and definitely much faster in a straight line. This is all in a good way and each M car is engineered differently. I had no intention in selling the M2CS if it was a manual to begin with but i guess it all worked out in the end when someone offered more $ i couldn't refuse.
Both are fun cars and I'am happy I landed and even found one in such a pristine condition 1M and low miles. I really don't need all that silly power to go straight. The 1M so far seems to have that perfect balance and i finally can row some gears again.
