2- MANUAL steering - OMG it is so amazing vs the electric steering in the M2.
3- seating position - 1M seat is lower and you feel like you are IN the seat not perched on it
4- i'll take the black one!
Great video very fair too. The only point some might take issue with is the seat height as the lower seating position is for the manual seats. The power seats on the 1M are higher. This became noticeable to me after I sold my first stripper 1M and test drove some used 1Ms with power seats.
