It is a shame as this could be the one way that BMW could make an M car with a V8 without it weighing stupid amounts. A nice little niche and something that would make it quite different to the M5
Interesting take… makes a lot of sense. I kinda assumed bmw would just throw the v8 alone in the 8 series due to the low volume and less need for the M8 to be a headline technology demonstrator the way the M5 is
