My argument is both an engineering/physics argument and a quote from a truly head to head controlled test by Motortrend magazine. Both agree.
I also agree and stated right here that for a lazy driver, not willing to redline the car and/or one using the wrong gear to achieve maximum acceleration, the 1M is likely to be faster (i.e. in many particular contests under those conditions)
I also personally disagree that the 1M is a more fun daily driver. Again don't be bashful, use the rpms that BMW M have provided. It turns Jekyll into Hyde!
