Well said.
Funny how everyone is doing high-fives and congratulating each other on the "amazing" 1M engine note being a typical M engine.
Hate to burst the bubble, the amazing typical sound in the video of a very fast revving high performance engine is
NOT the 1M, but actually an overlayed S65 sound from an E9X M3 or M3 GTS chasing behind the 1M that cannot be seen in the video. If you notice closely, the 1M sounds as boring as .... just any other joe blow x35.

.....but alas, the ///M division used to say "nein" to FI and looked down upon other manufacturer's for using the same engine for more than one car and now they're all going to be FI and the "one engine fits all" philosophy is the new "standard" for ///M.
Regardless of the badge, car looks promising.
