Where have you read that the e92 M3 handles better than the 1M? That's the main area where I'd expect the 1M to trump the e92.

Until we get to drive the car, the 1m coupe's achilles heel is potentially the N54.

+1. I'm loving everything about the 1M except the motor. After having my 335 for almost 3 years I think I'm ready to go back to a normally aspirated motor.
My reason for getting an M3 over a 1M would simply be the engine. It seems like BMW is abandoning high revving NA engines for the time being and I think I'd like to own one in a DD while I still can.
