You must be smoking something
For comparative $ a loaded M8 equals a base Aston Martin Vantage which is an OK car which a great engine. No match for the M8 on the performance side. Love the look but more in line with an AMG GT, just slower and less capable.
Different league? No...
Bentley has nothing in that price range...
Porsche has the fantastic 992. Awesome car if you like the 911 design and want a sports car. The M8 or 8 series is a GT, so no match.
Porsche also gets pricey and the closest match at this time is a loaded S or 4S. The M8 has no issue competing here on the performance side.
But I wouldn't call Porsche in a different league; just a different type of car.
For non-911's, the Panamera is not better in any way. Even matches the BMW in soft sales and eye watering depreciation
