FYI, the M4 just barely set a better lap time in the MT H2H than a 2SS. The M4 as tested was almost twice the cost (because no one buys a stripper M4 since Kias have more standard features) and that was with the $8k optional CCBs. The ZL1 is on a whole other level compared to the M4. The M4 GTS (the top dog) was barely faster than the SS 1LE at MT's Best Driver's car this year. Which is why most BMW owners slit their wrists when someone mentions it. Then they revert to the "it's a BMW" defense to justify the money they spent. They could almost buy a new 320i and a SS for the cost of their M4s. That should say something right there.
Back to your original question, I most definitely did not buy my car for looks. IMO that's one of the worst reasons to pick a car. It offered the most performance, features, and technology for the price.
