It seems like the big question in recent weeks has been whether or not the BMW 1M is a better car than the all-new M2. This is a great question for a couple reasons:
Firstly, the 1M can be bought today — if you can find a clean example — for the price of a new M2.
Second, depending on your market the 1M is a limited edition vehicle. Severely limited, that is. The M2 is going to be more of a series production vehicle.
Lastly, the all-new M2 is one of the latest and greatest M rated products on the market. That means it benefits from the latest tech derived from the M3 and M4.
