Therefore, the final answer is: $oxed{answer}$. I hope it is correct.

Where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Problem: Let $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ $d$ be real numbers such that
\begin{align*}
a + b + c + d &= 6, \\
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 &= 12.
\end{align*}Let $m$ and $M$ denote minimum and maximum values of
\[4(a^3 + b^3 + c^3 + d^3) - (a^4 + b^4 + c^4 + d^4),\]respectively.  Find $m + M.$
