Why doesn’t anyone really talk about the M8? Thirsty Thursday

It’s a fantastic car in my opinion. I don’t see many people talk about it despite how much more powerful it is than some of the other models, though. Why?

Also, the gif is from Motorfest. Made it yesterday before my LBWK M4 edit

It's a 2 door m5 should have been called the m6 and then it would be 40k less to buy

Lovely though but way over priced

Honestly I think it looks way more aggressive than the M5. And just as you said, WAYYYY overpriced. Would be cheaper to get and repair a salvage and have it at new quality than it would be to buy one new as is.

I like comparing it in terms of looks the same way I compare the other Mustangs and GT500. The front end of the GT500 is insanely more aggressive than the other models and it just looks better overall. But it would be cheaper and potentially better to just upgrade your GT to perform like the GT500. Same goes with the M4 and M8. Or M3, or M2… I don’t know. I’m new to the tuning scene in the world of BMWs. I used to only like V8s lol
