Personally I would rated Steve Sutcliffe as the better of the two, mainly because of his wealth of motoring experience, far exceeding that of Chris but that said Chris is one of the better journalists out there and doesn't mince his words.

Regarding the car itself, I got the impression from his report that BMW walked the tightrope, balancing the building of a car which offered a bit more fun and playfulness than the M3 which pleased the enthusiasts among us but distanced it from it's bigger sibling by not allow it to be quite as quick which will please the M3 owners.

It a tightrope walk which they appear to have completed without falling off.
