That particular author placed the M4 last, but he did so by placing more weight on the refinement category than I would, and more weight on the value proposition than I would (sure, the M235i offers more performance per dollar, but if the M3/M4 is something that you can or are willing to pay for, why wouldn't you?

A C7 Corvette or Z28 Camaro offer more performance per dollar than a Ferrari 458 - no doubt. However, if I was able to afford a Ferrari 458 (which I clearly cannot, otherwise I'd have one) - there is no way I would pick the C7 or Z28 over the 458...

Again though, that just my own subjective opinion...
