The 8 simply doesn't have the class, status, or Timeless Elegance that the 6 does. And I don't know anyone who's pushing the M6 to its limit so any performance increase that the 8 has is pretty much meaningless for 99% of people.

I totally agree with your last statement. Where I live anyway; traffic, bad road surface conditions, idiot drivers, the men with pretty red and blue flashing lights on top of their cars and occasional wildlife attempting to comit suicide by throwing themselves in front of oncoming vehicles makes high speed driving a very limited pastime.
