2024 BMW M3 CS Is the Hardest-Core Four-Door

BMW’s current-generation M3 and M4 are angry, violent machines capable of borderline terrifying turns of speed.

In the “before times,” we were beholden to trash reality cable TV shows with scripted deadlines (where you could lose the shop!) and overplayed drama.
