The M3 is still damn good, and the 1M is too raw for some. But this sentiment does explain why BMW was reluctant to make a 1M. I like Evo Magazine's current little summary of the two cars at the back:

BMW M3: + Fends off all its talented new rivals - ...except the cheaper 1-series M. 5 stars

BMW 1 Series M Coupe: + Character, turbo pace and great looks - Could hinder BMW M3 sales... 5 stars
