I have no doubts that the M4 is going to be a fantastic street car. In fact I have no doubt that most current M3 owners will fall in love with it after a test drive. One of the biggest complaints I hear on M3post about the M3 is "lack of torque". I'm willing to bet these people are just expecting power in the lower RPMs and frustrated that its not there. That will be solved in the M4 and most people will be instantly satisfied.
I think the bigger concern at this point is how the car feels at the track. And obviously this is only a concern for a fraction of owners that actually take their M3's to the track. The instant throttle response and smooth power delivery up to the high rpm redline are part of what makes the E9x M3 such a fun car at the track. And as we've seen, each successive generation M3 has gotten faster around the track, but also less engaging and enjoyable. I'm sure this will also be the case with the M4. Faster, but less exciting as well. Longer wheelbase seems to play a part in that.
