If it doesn't have high value, then the M2 with warranty is a no brainer. It looks fantastic and having a warranty during the payment period is awesome especially if you do Euro delivery. I agonized on dropping the M2 but once I saw the cockpit in my current 1M, I knew it was for me.

Also, if you plan to daily drive, the M2 is better. It is stressful when you have a special car like the 1M that is rare, low parts volume and irreplaceable. While the M2 is very special, I wouldn't be as stressed out with it as I am with the 1M so I have my old 330i ZHP as my daily and the 1M for weekends. I hope that helps: Here are some cockpit pics so you can make up your own mind. I know most find the cluttered, busy modern cockpit better or more luxurious. I find it tacky unfocused and just like any other car offered today.
Thanks for the input, nachob. And I agree - the 1M dash sans Nav looks so much cleaner than the M2. Your pic looks very familiar to me, as it is the same view I have in my 135is.
