I believe he is less impacted by bias and more open to all cars than many reviewers. He has loved cars from most manufacturers and this was one of his more positive reviews... on a similar level to review of the 991 GT3 Don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing the M3/4 to a GT3 but his review of each was similarly glowing. One thing Chris does well is review a car for what it is... that is, he doesn't let his experience in a Porsche 918 or GT3 a week earlier taint his perception of the next car he drives. He holds that car to a standard appropriate for the car.

Guys like Stutcliffe have a bias and aren't even shy to say it (which is a good thing) . Clarkson is as much about theatrics as he is the actual car review. Harris is the real deal blending a fun style, non-bias and supremely knowledgeable perspective. If he had disliked the M3/4, I would have been wondering if I had missed something in my own view of the car and probably started questioning myself (well, not really but it might have impacted a buy decision had I not already bought the car)
Well said.

Damn. You guys are buying a $70K+ car and bitching about about $4. Pretty pitiful I'd say.
