So if you start your design with a big touring car, it will never be as competitive - but regardless - even if it was competitive - it beckons the question whether a 8-series owner or buyer would appreciate racing pedigree of the car? I highly doubt so.

They never said they were making a sports car out of the 8, everyone knew it was going to be a luxury GT, so why even complain about it being big. Yes they should have used the M4 but it is what it is.
