I can hear some of you guys already: "Hey, one is a sports car, the other is a family sedan! How can you compare the two 4 door sedans?!"
You answered your own question. Some people don't want to settle for a bland, albeit fast daily driver. The F10's chassis has not been tailored exclusively for on limit handling and agility. The M3/M4 will see some light track duty and spirited driving among its owners. Hard to do with a 4000+ lb car.
