The 1M had higher tuning potential than the 135. With the M2 it's the other way around which really adds to the frustration.
Why is everyone so obsessed with straight line speed?

Sure the 240i could accelerate almost as fast, but the moment it hits a hard turn it'll have to slow down to half of the speed of the M2.

So then you have to ask: which speed? Straight line? Mid-turn? Exiting a turn? Each will give a different answer.
