"The BMW M4 never comes alive. It has elements of greatness, but when it comes down to it, the newest M car never gives that extra dose of character that makes your brain fuzz with emotion. It’s fast, efficient and an excellent daily driver. It will also do quite spectacular skids. But it’s lost some of the sense of humour that previous Ms have had in spades. It feels staid and synthetic and, for me, it’s a huge disappointment. Not one person came forward in its defence."

That's a brutal description. To be fair, it was compared to some real sports cars. However, they did like the Golf R and had more positive things to say about it. I think its about expectations and the new M car was not what they expected. The group seemed to have been polarized about it, like this forum. Using the F8X, Germany is trying to divide and conquer the world again!
