The point of the post was specifically to provide a comparison of the two cars' specs, not to indulge in a comparative review of their merits.

I have to say politely that the way you are approaching the comparison is biased. Since everything that makes this M4 undesirable is not transpiring (throttle response, artificially "enhanced" engine sound in the cabin, electric steering).
And I would politely reply that you are getting way ahead of yourself here. No one has driven the new car yet so it is premature to make conclusions about things like throttle response and steering feel.

You are certainly free to speculate and give your own thoughts but to suggest that a subjective opinion should be part of a purposely objective comparison is off base.
