I don't think so. The f80 is smaller, more nimble, lighter, and can be had with a DCT a faster and more interesting transmission. Normally you pay extra for those things, you certainly will on the CS.
But it's more luxurious, has a higher tuning threshold, dramatically outperforms the f8x on track, and has no known Achilles heel(crankhub)…

Not to mention real world figures have the g8x within 100lb of the f8x.

It also sounds a lot better
Better sound would be nice but I think if you're looking at M cars luxury and tech are not your highest priorities. If they are what you want there are other brands that do it better. Sure it's faster but a Tesla plad is even faster. In this generation it seems like speed isn't very interesting, I'd rather have something fun where I actually feel something. I'm sure the new c63 is going to be very fast, with a 4 cylinder and electric motor but that doesn't interest me.
