Glass half-empty or half-full?
It's a big moment. The first BMW M4 was a hit. Those of us who geek out over the lineage of performance cars saw the renaming of the two-door M3 as a bit of an affront. Meanwhile, those who actually
“In its ability to deliver speed and composure, it’s a huge step up from its predecessor”
