The reason I find these forums helpful is that when you put me in a fast noisy car I become less discerning and more like a kid in a candy store.
So your objective observations are valued.
One more point to the X.
Appreciate the advice.

I did not sample the GC version of the M8, but it seems to me that i has little to do with the actual 8 series - looks to be a heavily restyled M5.
All of the 8er's are heavily restyled 6's which are restyled 5's. They are not in anyway shape or form a flagship in my opinion.
