I found that my 1m rev-matches really really easily as well. I have a harder time on other cars to keep the rev's high.

I do notice that the engine braking is a little less on the 1m than my N/a stick shift pick-up truck which has almost equal displacement (but paradoxically revs really fast).

I like the high-strung feature of the engine and enjoy being able to effortless downshift while heel-toeing.

Good job BMW. Now if only they can get my wheel bearings built to hand the cornering of the car we can be set.
