I think at this point just see if you're satisfied. If you're worried about having the absolute best wait til march and get the Pilot Sport 4 S

If you read all the Reputable Independent European 2016 Tyre tests, Continental SportContact 6 outperforms MPSS in all area, including wet performance.
Furthermore, the BMW * (star) MPPS has worse wet handling than the non-star Generic MPSS. Thus one can not assume the BMW * MPSS or future models will perform as well as the generic's test results. The MPSS * are formulated of a slightly harder compound than the generic to give it longer life at the expense of handling.
New M3/M4s are arriving in USA with SC6 instead of MPSS over the past ~60 days - and most tests cars on the Nurburgring have switched to the SC6.
And you are taking a flyer assuming the MPS4 will beat it - especially considering the reputable tests comparing the two will probably not be published for 9-12 months.
At least for 2016-2017, SC6 is king.
