BMW M3 and M4: Impressive siblings are strong, safe and mind-bendingly fast

The impressive BMW M3 and M4: Both are powered by three litre, twin-turbocharged, straight six engines, delivering 510 bhp and a 0-100km/h time of 3.8 seconds.

These are both – in some ways – cars that will easily overwhelm you if you let them, but the M3 seemed to be less inclined to actually do so than the M4.
