Add this for those who do not know, or did not remember, straight from the horse's mouth:
Dr. Kay Segler (M Division boss who secured the 1M project) when asked during a workshop at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show (Jan 2011) to coin the 1M in a single phrase:
"The 1M is basically a truncated M3 Competition Package with a manual".
He added that the 1M does not need more power and that the production volume was kept low "to keep resale value as high as possible - creating an instant classic".
