Interesting comments. A relatively rare contradiction to the mostly glowing reviews. An excerpt from the article.... The BMW M4 never comes alive. It has elements of greatness, but when it comes down to it, the newest M car never gives that extra dose of character that makes your brain fuzz with emotion. It’s fast, efficient and an excellent daily driver. It will also do quite spectacular skids. But it’s lost some of the sense of humour that previous Ms have had in spades. It feels staid and synthetic and, for me, it’s a huge disappointment. Not one person came forward in its defence. The choir sang loud for the Corvette Stingray, mind. Expectations weren’t exactly low but they were guarded, and the C7 blew everyone away, on road and track. It’s not perfect, and it’s not necessarily to everyone’s aesthetic taste, but there is no denying that Chevrolet has finally made a car that can hold its head up in any company. It’s always had soul, but now it has talent. It’s a heady brew.

Excellent news I agree. DD for me too. I'll take the 9.9/10 for this car

If I had read this last week I might have felt a little weird.
But after driving around in a demo car yesterday I can honestly say that no article or review can change how strongly I love the new M3. I can not wait to get mine.

Most cars will fare this way when placed head to head with the likes of the Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 not to mention the Corvette Stingray.
The fact that it is on that list is impressive. |
