Plus I don't worry about it at all, which I can't say of my 1M.

Having owned both, once you get back into the 1M and get it out on a B-road....
You will again realize how much more visceral the 1M is. The 1M is much more engaging and fun to drive, and it requires more attention when pushing it, IMO.
M2 feels a little stale in comparison, easy to drive fast, but less rewarding.
I do agree with the not caring point. My Focus RS grows on me daily, because I treat it like a car, not any type of investment, that is the value of care free driving. I barely wash the car....Same with my F80.
The one downside (for me) to the 1M is feeling guilty about milage. I love it so much, that I want it to run forever, so I am guilty of babying it a little too much.
