m3 will crush GSF everywhere except long term reliability and build quality. Ashamed BMW cant match Lexus quality. Hopefully the 2 come out with a joint performance sedan

And interior quality / layout / fitment / design / surfacing. I saw the M4 on their website and started laughing at how 90's everything in front of the driver looks. The old Supra Turbo MKIII with the digital tach and dash looked more welcoming. It was like, here's a hard piece of black plastic with a hole cut out for two old tyme analog gauges, have fun!

Oh and to your point about a joint effort..well...BMW is working with Toyota on a project car and has been for the last 4-5 years. Supra is the easy guess there, and BMW just officially pulled the plug on the Z4, where this car slots in nicely. BMW does the suspension and transmission tuning, Toyota does the rest, everybody wins.

My F80 M3 without competition pkg. will TOAST my GS-F in any sort of race. I'd much rather daily drive my GS-F though!

When properly spec'd (leather dash) the M3/M4 interior is really nice. Mine looks awesome! More sporty than my GS-F interior. The GS-F is more luxury in comparison but i'd say they are equally as cool. The base model M3/M4 plastic dash does look cheap to me as well. Mine is all leather with red stitching. Reminds me a lot of my old F430 interior actually.

Depends on what other cars are in Mexico even a supercharged RC-F might still get embarrassed by <insert car>
