Faut aussi en prendre et en laisser...
Depuis le départ de Lagos, MT se font un plaisir de basher BMW. Je lis pas mal partout et ce n'est qu'un comparo parmis tant d'autres...ils disent même le contraire de ce qu'ils en ont déjà dit: "not fun to drive" et là (

Note: Miracle of miracles, the M4 cleanly wins an Autocar comparison - and (IMHO anyway) for the right reasons. Rather than whining that it isn't the sort of car that was made for previous generations, it recognizes the current world and that the M4 is the car for this world.

http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1139240" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Note: this is probably closer to a pure 'time/race' comparison which makes it dicey to include, but there are extended drives of both first with lots of commentary and comparisons so I have kept it in as the likes/dislikes of the reviewer are clear (as is the actual 'race' result). The result is probably summed up in the presenter's phrase "brute force versus precision". Or, put another way, this is yet another installment in the same story that has been between these two for decades now......
