To me, the F8x (both M3 and M4) seems to go back to the E46 roots with lower weight, upgraded brakes, better handling, better rear diff etc. Many parts of the evolution from E9x to F8x pointing more towards sports than GT, to me.

What happens with the M3 brakes after two laps here is worrying...

My hope was f8X would get back to the E46 feel. I might be going too hard on the car in that statement without driving it. For me at $75k if I can get a car with technology, premium feel on material, and handling close to my E46, that to me is a great car. If the MSRP starts with an "8" minus ceramic brakes they are starting to lose me... Oh and yes the GTS and GT3 I can see the comparison!
