Driving the M3 has always been a compelling experience, and that feeling remains with this new one. Arriving back from Ronda after a solid day behind the wheel, we are in awe of its abilities. The new engine is potent, endowing it devastating pace when you call upon it with a heavy right foot. However, it doesn’t dominate proceedings in the same one-dimensional way we suspected it might. That’s because the chassis it is placed in is well up to the job of corralling its reserves. It devours corners with clinical efficiency. In making it do so, however, BMW has been forced to trade off some of the M3’s renowned sensitivity. But never mind, as Richter intimates as we relay our thoughts to him later, there’s still the CSL version to come. That day can’t come soon enough . . .

Looks like they loved it but say that M3 has lost some of its Sensitivity.
