Does this make sense or is there some bias?

I really don't think it's bias as he's pretty complementary of the M4 which has the disadvantage of being based on a passenger car while the GT4 is riding on a dedicated sports car chassis. I would wager you could drop any of us in these two cars on the track and the GT4 would probably come off as more fun to most of us based on it being smaller, lighter, and feeling closer to a race car. The M4 manages to be a little quicker around the track while being far more livable as a daily driver so for most of us would be the car to own if you could only own one car. Another thing of note is that GT4 is going to feel a lot slower on the street than the M4 as it needs to be pushed to high RPM for motivation as in the words of Car & Driver "it's a little dull at low revs".
Different track but a manual GT4 is neck and neck with a C8 Corvette so it's pretty clear the G8x can hang with the big dogs which is something you couldn't really say about the F8x cars.

+1 to all of this, particularly driving the GT4 on the street. That's where the G8x will shine
