If out and out performance is your theme, the G8X is not for you. However, if you want a relaxing GT car, then the G8X will be right up your alley, but if that's what you want, a manual gearbox option is a really baffling offering. It's almost as though BMW wasn't sure whether this is a sports car (like the F8X) or a GT car...
But then again, this is all irrelevant as you will most certainly have the last laugh if you happen to bump in to a F8X whilst driving your brand new G8X M3/4 as the driver of the F8X will have to endure barfing in their own mouth when your front grille consumes their rear view mirror as they pull away and disappear in to the horizon.

Every single test with numbers attached has the G80 as faster. Every single one.
It's faster to 60. It's faster through the quarter mile. It holds more G's. It brakes quicker. It goes around tracks faster.
If the F80 is a sports car it must not be any good to be so thoroughly trounced by a GT car.
But of course, that's nonsense.
The F80 is a fantastic car...and the G80 is faster. There is no room for debate, and I have no idea how, after watching a video where people literally drive both cars and both say that the G80 is faster both in lines and in corners, that the F80 is the faster car.
