How is that different than an M4? Before you answer, also consider that the majority of this world pays tax based on CO2 and/or engine displacement. So why create two (or three if you consider the M235i) cars with nearly identical identities?
I assume your 740 1M owners is just the US number? Don't forget that BMW is a global company, and that more than double that 740 number was sold to folks outside of this country.
I like the 1M and considered one to replace the wife's 135i, but I'd be curious to know how many folks would have bought one if the F8x was already out? I'd like to see the M2 be something different than just a handicapped M4 for 10% less money. Make it different, even if your supposed 84% avoids it. They can run out and buy an M4, an M235i or any number of existing BMW products.
