Well, I think that this was inevitable--not everyone is going to love the car, and it isn't going to be as good as a 1M--that much is clear. The M2 will be the correct measuring stick for that.
This dude almost seemed like he was trying too hard to satirical, which had the opposite effect to me anyway. He just came off as trying too hard to be clever about his perceptions of the car's pitfalls--which there are obviously going to be some of those.
As someone else already pointed out, this car is aimed at the slot once held by the 135is--not the 1M. So you can't write a review based on an incorrect comparison, at least if you want to be taken seriously.
But all viewpoints are good ones until I get to drive the car. He talked about how shitty the steering feel was, but it was all related to feedback, not turn in or weight or sharpness. I find that encouraging. We shall see...
