Yes, and probably an indication of how M8 (and 8-series in general) were artificially inflated over M6... And people see through that it’s really more of a new M6 rather than a true “step up” M8...

It is definitely not a step up and the price adjustment for the M6 for 6 years back would have the M6 higher. Although the M8 is a very nice car and I would buy it, it is not the breakthrough design of the M6.

Yeah exactly. Clever but lame ploy by BMW Marketing to try and cash in on the all new "M8" badge and put in a huge price inflation over the outgoing M6. It's really a modernized M6. Now if the M8 had a V12 or some other major technical/engineering improvement, then it might've been justified.

The issue I see is in the past with AMG they could do a 63 and a 65 in their naming scheme easily. If BMW did an S63TU M8 plus an N74 car what would it be called? 860CSi? Bit of history there. |

Its like even they know they have to get their new car prices back to reality to fight against the depreciation curve. |
