I would say at least 70% would end up purchasing a pre-owned 1M over an M2 if they could just drive them back to back.

I understand tho that some want a new car with a warranty ect ect......but, they are missing out in my opinion!
The 1M felt pretty dated to me when I got my 981 in 2015 - definitely a fun car, but not in the same league from many points of view compared to the OG M2 or M2C.

More of an analog experience, which can be good or bad, depending on your point of view. Would have been cool in 2011 when i originally wanted one, but no lust from me to get one now. If you want a true analog experience, you have to go back further than that.
I still have yet to drive anything remotely from the last 10 years as fun as the 1M. Before or after getting it. The M2 didn't even come close! The 981 GTS didn't either.

Even internally within BMW; the opinion is that the 1M is still unmatched....
