Ultimately, I don't care if BMW adds one part or two hundred, and I don't care what label they put on the car. It's the results that matter, so we'll see if these new carbon parts and a few other changes surprise us in being a goldilocks kind of car.
As far as being the true 1M successor, that's just the regular M2, but that certainly doesn't mean a lot of 1M owners would trade.

well the first TRUE M car was actually the 2002 Turbo, IMO. Except the M division didn't formally exist. It was also a skunkworks build very much like the 1M. Oh and it was limited to a few colours....oh and it was turbocharged
oh and it had fender flares.....
oh and.......ok i think you get the point!
the 1M really was a total reincarnation of the 2002 Turbo.
I do agree with you that the N55 M2 is the closest in spirit to the 1M. Personally it's the only M2 i feel carries that spirit.
