The E63 6 series back seat was horrific as was the F12 6 series. If you've got 1000-1100/month to spare, an M8 is a great way to go.
Not just a change in numbering, ive ownerd 4 6ers, 2 from the E63 era and
the E63 S85 had a small but useable back seats, and weighed quite a bit less..and while u could have leased a ‘08 M6 for 1100, a 2020 M8comp is near double (though im sure they are trying to give em away now that sales have tanked). The 8er / M8 is a disaster plain and simple, starting with design...if they had kept the original nose design from the concept I would have gone for it but yet another bland looking car with a huge premium was a big no-no.

I can only hope they remake the 6er and drop the 8er, but Id want the new 6er to be a 2+2, rwd, be smaller than the 4er and in the 3500-3600 max zone and fully loaded (ie highest level of performane not the M and then M comp bs they pull now) and cost less than a 992S... They need a sports car design to ever be mentioned in the same sentence with a 911...That could bring back hope that the roundel still has a soul.
