You may be right on that. But then again why would you buy a brand new car, only to void the warranty and spend even more money through modifications? The M4 comes out of the box with an engine and chassis that was prepped for the track...it doesn't need much work or modding to make it track worthy (maybe upgraded brake fluids and pads).

Well seeing as the M4 is newer than the 1M and is still under warranty...I don't see the M4 costing more to maintain over the next few years. The 1M, especially one that is modded, will likely need more upkeep.

As for which one is more fun (1M or M4) that's entirely subjective.
