Nice shots and camera footage. Well done on the comparison and quite honestly I would also lean towards the more "analog" type 1M if the S55 wasn't such a great performance value in today's dollar. Paying high dollars for a 10 yr old BMW when you can get a modern factory warranted M car like the M2C for the same price doesn't make as much sense for a first time M owner like me. You're living the dream by experiencing both scenarios. I agree the M2C doesn't feel quite as raw as the older 1M. I've driven a 1M hard and know what you're describing. Infact nicely appointed low mileage ones are close to $70k now. I personally also like the Z4M and E90 platform for their "analog" nature and hydraulic steering. However after driving the M2C on a twisty road or on track, it's visceral HP/TQ and acceleration are undeniable. In the end if you can only afford one, you can't go wrong with either in my opinion.
Kudos!
