The 1M, in my opinion, IS a real M car.

The jump wasn't hard to make.

EDIT - and the M2 wasn't confirmed early either...just rumored.

The 135is was a better car too, in my opinion.
I guess its perspective. I remember thinking this is as close as we will get to an m2 not the fact that the m235 would be the true successor
