I understand BMW not using the S65 in the 1M for fear of pissing off M3 owners (there are a lot more M3 owners out there than there will be 1M owners and its a more expensive car and flagship of the company).
However, BMW could have waited another year or so until they were getting ready to stop producing the current M3 and then dropped the S65 into the 1M (kind of like they did to the Z4 M shortly before they stopped producing the last generation M3). That way M3 owners would be less hurt since their cars would then be a generation old anyway and BMW could have gotten more use out of the S65 (and made the 1M insane!). Just my thought...
