Does it really, though? The e90 and f80 M3s all had long development times. If those parts are soft and created by the corporate board members to sell cars, then BMW is pretty much shoehorning those parts into the 1M and M2 (not saying that's what you think, just kind of playing devil's advocate).
true...and I am sure the M2 will overall be a great car, however my feeling is it will have less 'madness' than the 1M. Depending on your outlook that is a good or bad thing!

For me one of biggest appeals of the 1M is it's bonkers state of being...haha
