@ OP: I like both the 1M and M3; the M3 much more. The former would serve me well as a DD while the latter would be a non-DD ride. To each his own.
I like the M3 more overall as well. I adore the S65, love EDC, and the interior quality is much much nicer. But I'm guessing I'd have a bigger smile on my face driving the 1M Coupe around a track or through the mountains. It's kind of the nature of smaller, lighter, shorter-wheelbased cars.
