The M240i weights as much as a luxury GT these days which is an impedement for tossing, but brings composure while cruising. It's not really smaller than the 8 series, in fact it can host 2 passengers on the back seat more easily. It has the better engine and Xdrive and the more recent transmission. I fail to see where the 8 series would justify its premium.
Agree, the 8 series doesn't look as much as a dinky toy and more as a high class coupe, but it's also that boyish boxy design that appeals to me and doesn't abate capability in any way.
