Found this gallery over on Autoblog, thought I'd share it. Pretty neat stuff including the M8, various M-tourings and compacts, an e30 truck, etc..

The m8 is such a beautifal car. Why was it that BMW never made it?

Way too expensive. IIRC, they made a csl version that was very close to what the M8 would have been.

Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

M8 And original M5 are my favorites. I would love to own a first gen M5 one day.

The engine in that m8 looks like something out of an Alien movie. That thing is a beast. I want to grab a blanket and pillow and sleep on it.

Z1 was aborted, not stillborn

those are m-systems on the M8 with carbon fiber covers....drooling at the idea of carbon fiber throwing stars.......

I think they're actual carbon spokes
