Safe to say almost everyone wants BMW to excel in their respective class. M3 especially. Road & Track including. Car enthusiasts are passionate about BMW, deep down; hence if they don't deliver a product to their liking, people get riled up more than that they would if it were a Mercedes, for example.
I don't think anyone expected or hoped that BMW would build a new M3 that is objectively worse than the outgoing model. This car, from what I read, delivers great performance and is objectively better and more capable. If you want a new car and don't mind the styling, then go get it.
This article praised the car in a lot of ways. I see no wrong with it.
