The outgoing M3 is, by all accounts, a very special car. It's a joy to own one and drive it every day. I won't be surprised if this car is held in the same high regard as the E39 M5 many years from now. The new M3/4 will surely outperform the current car, but with so much resting on the subjective feel of a car for many enthusiasts, they will be hard-pressed to produce a new car that compares in this respect to the cars we own.
