I'm not sure of your historical knowledge, but there has been an 8 series in the past ( no M version was ever sold) and it was positioned well above the 6er ...

The 850 Ci went for $95,000 back in 1995 and the 850 CSI had a V12
6 was inexistent in the 850 era.

However, I was thinking that since this is -kind of- a 6 replacement, it should be positioned as such.
I know that the 8 nomenclature requires an "above 7 Series" perception but still... Or, we need the 6 back.
6 is one of the most beautiful BMW's ever built in my opinion.
If they keep the 8 at a above M5/ 7 Series price, then they kick themselves in the butt if no 6 will be offered.

If the price will be in the range you guys are suggesting, there are many great options in that league, not sure how sales will look like.
