Not everyone wants/ needs a sedan/ 4 doors.

Is the 8 too heavy and can you feel all that weight? Sure.
BMW have done a good job with the powertrain and with all the electronics to obfuscate all that weight.
I love that it's low and somewhat wide. You want presence? Look at the shark-like MB GT.

Personally, I would not pick a F90 over G15, let alone the M8, especially when considering the interior aesthetics of the 8.

Just like the M6 F11/12/13 was the best BMW had to offer IMO, the M8 should be the ticket. Can't wait.
The dash reminds me too much of the G20 as well as the other new BMW dashes, the Z4, X5, X7. I felt like the F13 was quite different to the rest of the range.
