As it was intended and nothing else.
The 8 and M8 by extension should be seen an appropriated for what they are: Dynamic and sporty coupes. BMW never made the assertion that they are all out sports cars and so there is no reason to compare them to the 911 or it like.
If I see a weakness, it is in the visual drama and I have said across other posts in the past.
Now that BMW has moved into a new space that better addresses its luxury coupe/GT ambition, it leaves conceptual room to develop a true sports car at a lower end of the range which can show what BMW can do to answer the 911, AMG GTS and Audi R8. This should be the true spiritual successor of the original 6 and the car every enthusiast seems to want.
That is hope. BMW needs to find the numbers that justify such a proposition but every time I find a higher up, they shrug and say, “No business case.”
