I did not realise that the OFFICIAL specs for the M8 were released but I expect at least the same HP as the M5 competition and really comparing the M5 / M8 is not the same as comparing a small SUV as the X3M with the M3. They deliberately downtuned the S58 in the X3M and release the full power of that version in the M3/M4 or finetune it further for a small bump in HP.

Imagine BMW releasing the X5M first and then releasing the M5 with the same specs? Their loyal M5 customers would not be pleased so what they did is increase it with 16 HP yet keep the torque.
