Excellent news!

Did you find out what kind of scale will be used to weigh the cars?

Well, there is the M3, which should yield similar results to M4.

Hey...where is the diet conscious, cracker-every-meal eating, BMW M4? I wonder why this marvel of in-line six turbo blowing, DCT jamming, artificial song demon did not make the list.

Could it be unbiased determinations from Road and Track?

I guess, the performance difference between M3 and M4 is negligible. It was also the case in the E90/E92 case where they both put down identical numbers despite BMW officially charging more for the coupe.

It will be very interesting since they will be tested on the same day with the same driver.
