Default How do you think the 370z is going to stack up vs. the new 1M coupe?

Now that BMW has taken the wraps off of their new 1M coupe, set to be shown at the upcoming Detroit auto show, and be on sale this spring, are any of you tempted? When I was cross shopping cars before I bought my Z, I did take a look at the 135i, and I remember being impressed with the car, particularly the copious torque that was available from very low RPM. I also thought the interior, although relatively spartan, was pretty much at the top of the class in terms of fit and finish (Porsche Cayman included). I know that Car and Driver pitted the 370z against the 135i (and Pontiac Solstice and RX-8) in a comparo about a year ago, and the 370z came out on top. I wonder how the 370z would do in a 3 way shoot out with the new 1M and the base Cayman. Presumably BMW has addressed the understeering issue that plagued the 135i, with all the upgrades to the car's suspension (most parts taken from the current M3), and with the added power and especially the torque over-boost feature, I'm betting this car puts down some impressive numbers. From the comments I've seen, the design of the car is a bit polarizing, but in my estimation, I think they did a great job with it.
