M4 or 440?
Against the stopwatch there is a difference, on the road nothing in it.
2 years ago a son bought an M3 - totally impractical with a wife & 2 kids.
Going away even for a weekend had problems getting cases etc in the boot. His thinking was that he would use a roof rack for holidays - the M3 has a carbon fibre roof so no roof rack. A 440 Touring would have been a much better buy, £20K saving, minimal sacrifice in performance but an estate car - he only found out about the roof issue 3 months after buying the car.
M3 traded in 6+ months ago & now on "first name terms" with the JLR Franchise service manager having purchased Discovery. He has also had to deal with JLR lack of support, shortage of parts + delays in resolving problems.
