For a car that can do it all, it's probably close to perfect...

The M4 is a 2+2 seater isn't it? So why is it unfair to compare it to the 911 or V6 F-type?
Also, if you actually read his review, you'll see that he preferred the 911 to the M4 and believed that the Jaguar compared relatively well with the M4....I want to like the M4 just as much as you do, but that doesn't give me or you license to misinterpret other people's opinions.
The M4 may not have all of the race-track characteristics of a porsche 911, but its still of the "sports car" family, despite its added emphasis on every-day driving and comfort. The F-type and low-end 911's are very valid comparisons and are likely to be cross-shopped by potential buyers.
