It's interesting that the GT63s has rear-wheel steering like the M850i but BMW chose to remove that feature for the M8...
According to the M engineers they didn't want the added weight and the complexity and unnatural steering feel and also not everyone is a fan of the steering feel. It sometimes makes it quirky at high speed lane changes as I have personally witnessed this on my Alpina B7 at high speeds. Its a weird and uneasy feeling not too dissimilar to hitting a patch of ice. The car sort of sideways skids instead of steering over.

It's a money reason. M5 doesn't have rear wheel steering same chasis. Would have added costs to have M8 with rear wheel steering. That's what I hear anyway FWIW
