    Getting the M3 right is critical for BMW, because it's a sort of bellwether for the industry and enthusiasts alike--if a car is quick, it will inevitably be compared to the M3. Getting the M4 right is even more critical for BMW, because it wears an all-new name over the bones and history of the M3 coupe.

As for how good it looks to the eyes of the aesthete, rather than those of the track dog, we'll...
