M3/m4 since its second generation has always been a street car you can take to the track.
The GT4 is a track car you can take to the street. Different philosophies, both great. |

….but the GT4 is significantly lighter, so even with lower power the weight advantage still favors the GT4. The G8X just simply handles very, very well for its size and it has power to compliment.

The reviewer is an idiot in my opinion.

Why do these British car reviewers always keep comparing the Porsche GT4 to BMW M cars. There is no comparison. Porsche is the penultimate car to own and drive, specifically on the track. GT4 in the hands of an experienced driver will always beat any M car. The mere fact a higher HP G80 is being compared to a mid-level Porsche is absurd as well. Let's compare the top M car vs the top Porsche GT. The M cars will get spanked each and every time. And this guy is lame. I've seen his reviews before. Wish they would all stop trying to be like a Jeremy Clarkson on these reviews.

I think this particular head to head was done because the cars are in a similar price range and it's an interesting proposition overall. Kudos to BMW for continuing to make super fun cars in spite of growing opposition to anything with an internal combustion engine.

Insane. The G8X M3/M4 seats 4-5, has no problem with being a daily driver, family hauler, etc...Beats the GT4 (no question a more pure sports car) on a track - any track. Reminds me of when I bought my E39 M5 so many years ago. Cheers to BMW.
P.S. I'll take either the GT4 or M3/4 with a MT (despite the power reduction for the BMW), thank you. And while I am now in my early 50s (how did that happen??), I have not changed my opinion on that since age 20.

I'd like to see an alternative version of this test in which, once the clock starts, the driver has to load up with shopping and white goods and some "click & collect" parcels before setting off

I agree, but I’d change it to, “Porsche is *great* at only one or two things ...” They’re absolutely worth the money, even (and especially) with that singular focus on driving excellence.

I certainly would pick it too. It's nice to look at, it's quick and rewarding and not known for teenagers living with their parents owning an M3 and doing donuts in a parking lot. Porsche is King. |

I was quite impressed by the Bose audio. It’s the best stereo I’ve experienced in a sports car. Far better than the Harman Kardon setup in my G82. I don’t know how the Burmester can realistically improve on it enough to justify the $4k price tag. Further, I enjoyed the glass sunroof, PDK, 18-way sofas, and adaptive cruise control. The 992 C2S/C4S is a near-perfect daily driver sports car, assuming you generally travel without people or cargo. I do agree that an X3 or 330i (or Corolla ) on the side will make for a great combo. |

I, too, liked the BOSE when I heard it next to the base stereo, so I promptly added it to my build. The 992 is, by far, the Porsche for the modern age. I don't feel like I'm going so backwards now that I've left the BMW camp. |
