I am not sure that the majority of these features/gizmos are in alignment with trying to be the best driving car in the segment...
Part of the problem is that I don't know what segment the 8 series really fits into now. Is it an S class coupe competitor? Or AMG GT? 911?

I always thought of the 8 series as a larger GT car.
