For those who have forgotten, M still stands for motorsport. IMO if you ask any M engineer's take on the 1M, they will tell you the same as Isenberg said which is they didn't finish it. M engineers don't want to build half ass cars and yes they use Nurburgring track times to gauge the quality of their work. The design intent was not to build a gorilla; however, this was the outcome due to the lack of funding by BMW. If they had more time, the 1M would have handled similar to the M2 with regards to traction and track manners.
