If any car should get it it seems the obvious choice would be the M2, but what do I know.
M3 would do the moniker proud as well me thinks…

The M8 couple is coming back for 2022. Order and pricing guides have been posted, they're in the US configurator, and there have already been some out for sale (so I assume deliveries):

I really like the sleek kidney grills 👍🏻 and hood vents. That's what the new M4 should look like!

The M8 is just too long and too big. Miss the 6 Series.

For that price and size I would definitely get something way more kick ass.

And yet the 6er is longer than the 8er…

I'm still confused about why so much is being done to a car that didn't start life off as an M8.

Because they didn't put an M8 into a wall?

It's more comfortable than Gottfreid and allows ample opportunities to get the enthusiasts worked up.

Has there been any news or confirmation of an M8 CSL? Perhaps released alongside the M4 CSL in celebration of M division's 50th anniversary?

What's an M12?

I watched the spy video again of the white M8 at the Nurburgring. The engine sounds like it has a flat plane V8 which makes me wonder if it's a development car for a new engine variant. AMG did it on the GT's V8 to create the Black Series (increase power while meeting emissions). Could BMW be following suit for a limited edition model and have 700+ hp?
