Welcome to the first in a series of head-to-heads we"ve put together, and what looks like a win-win for BMW. For the rest of us however, there"s much at stake.We all know how brilliant the i8 hybrid is - how it combines a 3cyl engine, electric power and lightweight materials to spellbinding effect. A glimpse into the future, you"d say.The M4 is a dinosaur by comparison - the same front engined, rear-wheel drive layout that has served BMW for decades. OK, so the engine in question is a sophisticated twin turbo straight-six, but it"s not a game-changer, it"s a refinement of a tried and tested formula.
