According to BMW website M850 GC weighs 4696 lb while M8 GC weighs 4480 lb so the difference is 216 lb.
The weight difference between M850 Coupe and M8 Coupe is 132 lb (4427 lb vs 4295 lb) and for Convertible is 130 lb (4560 vs 4690).
I believe the majority of this difference is coming from the followings:
Roof: CF roof vs Metal roof
Rear Steering: M8 does not have this feature
Wheels: M8 has tubeless tire but M850 has RFT and I assume M8 has light weight rim.
Seats: M850 has more luxury seats with some additional options such as massaging. M8 has more sporty / lighter weight seats.
Suspensions: M8 has light weight suspension with lots of aluminum parts.
In addition probably the other components like engine, gearbox, differential might have some weight saving on M8
