They are pretty spot on about the 8. Good, not great. And if you are going to pay that much for a car, you'd want it to be more luxurious or a better sports car. But they didn't rip into it.
If I had that much money, I'd consider one as a show off car, but just because I'm a "BMW guy". Like them, I'd have a M2C first any day.

A lot of people are missing the point. This is more of an SL competitor than anything else, regardless of the tiny back seats. This and the SL offer both sportiness and luxury in one package unlike a pure luxury GT (S coupe) or a pure sports car (AMG GT). I totally 'get' the idea behind this 8 series since I drive a 6 series and an SL. This car hits the sweet spot for those that want a sporty cruiser that does everything well.
