Good video, thanks for posting. Anyone who has owned one for any length of time can tell immediately when a reviewer really "gets" the car. It's supposed to be a bit of a hooligan. A point that seems lost on many. It supposed to be raw, it is supposed to be a challenge. It was never intended to be a plug-and-play type car like the Cayman.
What makes me laugh is that when the 1M came out, if you recall, it was the longest reveal in history. BMW put the hype machine into overdrive and because of that, and the fact that it was a cheap 4-seater M car (when the previous entry level into M cars was the E92 M3), the journos went ape for it. Yet it has many of the 'traits' they criticised endlessly in the Z4M when it came out (harsh damping leading to excessive traction control intervention on rough road surfaces being the main one). It has also never depreciated at all and is now fetching way over list for a low mile example. Funny old world because the 4M's are much more "special" than a 1M in my opinion.
