I think the exhaust is different on the 1M, at least I never heard the "drone" problem with Z4is which is very very common (majority of the cars) with the 1Ms. We owners already started to switch to N55 midpipes or MadDad's to increase flow, high rpm revving and throttle response (in non M or default mode) in our cars. These alternatives are reported to minimize drone problem as well.
