Yeah, the M8 doesn't stand out enough from the M5. I still think if this car was named 6/M6 it would make more sense, but calling this an 8 series and saying that it is a "flagship" vehicle, just doesn't make any sense, as it really just seems like a 5 series coupe, which in the good ol' days would have been called, the 6 series.
