Some comments from Car & Driver's review of a 2016 M4 Competition, which kind of mirror my point about it performing well but feeling kind of sterile or boring:
"...None of these transgressions keep the M4 from posting incredible performance numbers, but they do sap some of the fun from the process of extracting them..."
"...As you could reasonably expect from an option bundle with “competition” in its name, the Competition package intends to broaden the M4’s performance envelope. Well, not so fast..."
All this sounds like I'm trashing it, but I'm not, it's a great car for owners with a specific set of expectations, just like the Mustang (or any car, really). Cost not a factor, I'd personally rather keep my as-modified 2018 Mustang than trade it for my neighbor's M4.
