Own the F90 M5 Comp and drove the M8GC, the M5 is the nicer drive in my opinion, the M8 feel huge whether it's seat position or what but you can't place it on the road the same as the M5.

I will say what I have for a while, because if we're talking about looks, I believe the M8GC looks better then the M5. Not too subtle, yet elegant all at once. The issue is what many have been saying, and that's the price premium over what is essentially the same cars. If you want a coupe, then the M8 is fine, but if you want 4 doors, I personally can't say that the M8GC is a better value then an M5.
That being said, if money isn't an issue, and you want what is considered the best the brand has to offer, then there is nothing wrong purchasing an M8GC. More power to you, because no matter what car you end up getting, there is no denying that you'll end up with one heck of a car.

If you are keeping long time like 8-10 years and you are the type that how the car looks matters to you a lot, I would go for the m8 if money is not an object. M5 already looks dated and would look more so compared to m8 in a few years time. Moreover there would be many secondhand m5s on the road in few years time compared to the exclusivity of m8 if keeping long term
The interior of m5 is just slightly upgraded 5 series interior whilst m8 interior is somewhat more exclusive Anyway not being biased because I own one, M6 with two tone colour still has the best interior IMO

although mine was only $5000 more than the equivalent E53 and arrived a month before any other similar spec'd cars but I got a designo interior with mine vs regular napa on the E, so I'd say it warranted the price difference. If the 8er was a $5k difference like the "X coupes" (which is a whole other rant I could go on) I could see it, but $25k, nope, I'd buy a Miata or a nice vacation with that.
