Remember when the original M8 was downgraded to the 850csi because it was too heavy? They thought it would damage the brand and that car is a legend AND had more 'Me to it than the M2 of last gen and this upcoming gen appears to have.

I remember BMW actually built an M8 prototype with a 550hp V12 as a Ferrari fighter, that was definitely NOT the 850CSi:

Unfortunately the bean counters deemed it too expensive and didn't think it would make a profit so they never produced it.
