3. Super quick steering and go cart like feel.
4. It's own version of turbo lag ... OMG overboost - wtf I was mid corner and the rear just stepped way out with all the nannies still on and I had to catch it with my own skill; there is a reason a good percentage of 1Ms have been totaled.
5. Designed by engineers for maximum fun - not to hit a marketing budget, spec, fill a hole in the line up, etc.
6. Engine feels laughably underrated when it goes all beast mode; feels more powerful than my M3 ZCP (however the speed at the top end would say otherwise).

All the commentary on 'm' engine, non 'm' engine is entertaining and I couldn't possibly care any less. It's a car, and how it drives and looks is what brings the smile to my dial. It could have been a Kia and I'd still love it the way I do.
So when I think of the 1M and why, throughout my auto ownership career, (often getting rid of new cars within a year and a half), I can't bring myself to sell this one after 7, it's reasons like the above that tell my story.
You sir, get it! Hat's off.
