If you find one , go and drive a stock E30 M3, feel the crisp steering, the fine roadholding and the lame engine.
After the E46 M3 I got a 335i E90 6Mt, graet engine as well. Then I drove the Z4M to go back to that //M feeling I was hoping for. I won't do that again, it was a cultureshock. The highrevving is great, but the car also needs to accellerate fast(er) than that 335i, and it didn't actually. (My N54 335i also had 330/340HP stock I guess) .
Anyway, you know that BMW came out with the 2002 Turbo and the BMW Turbo prototype(1972) YEARS before the M1(great car, BMW's true supercar) and E30 M3 came out?
BMW always has been a turbo pioneer. And it shows with the 1M. It's a true M just as the F10 M5 is.
I've ordered the F30 335i 6MT, but if I didn't have any kids there would be a 1M in my garage. It's a blast.

Do you honestly think the N54 is an M engine? Let me add that some past M cars DON'T have true M engines either. The US s52 for instance, what a joke that is, yes I just eliminated all e36M3s (except with euro s50 engine) from true M status. The S62 in the e39 M5, is questionable as well.
There's ///M cars, then there's "M" cars, then there's the 1M. Sorry.
