Also according to BMW - The e9x M was 80% new parts compared to the series car while the F8x is 50% new parts compared to the series car.

This doesn't make the new car suck. It just makes it more like the series car than the previous generation.
So wait - I'm just stating facts and that's defensive? Please explain...
