The previous gen M's weren't always the fastest but they had the most soul and best driving feeling while the M4 is all about electronics to boost track time but it looks like some of the visceral feedback and connectedness is now missing. And we all know BMW will do a LCI and change/improve a bunch of stuff in the coming years so I plan to keep the e92 hopefully forever and get a LCI M4 when the time comes if it makes a worthy competitor to its rivals but knowing that a Stingray, Camaro, GTR, and others will eat the M4 at the track plus offer a comfortable daily driver is not a fun feeling and I don't believe the M4 is the benchmark this generation. The Stingray most likely will be.

The GTR is not a good daily driver at all by definition (not to mention it's about $30-40g more). The Stingray only has 2 seats which is a no-go for many, and none of those cars you mentioned have the fit and finish of the M3/4. It's always going to be about the whole package when purchasing a car and The M3 has always been a great overall package.
