I actually LIKE the idea of BMW and the F8x taking more driver & handling based approach to driving enjoyment rather than worrying about the power numbers on paper. Same thing goes for the RWD vs AWD argument; AWD may be better for grip but it is not more fun for the driver.. BMW believes in producing the best drivers cars, i.e. Ultimate Driving Machines. Power does not always equal better car. I remember watching a review of the 2013 Shelby GT500 that had 600+ horsepower and the reviewer came to the conclusion that the 500hp version was better because 600+ is too much for that car to put down and thus, it ruined the experience.

This to me is like comparing a gold Timex watch vs. a steel Rolex GMT. Sure the Timex is gold, but the craftsmanship of the Rolex is something much more worthy of appreciation by people who know what they are talking about. Anybody can make a POS watch with gold parts, but not just anybody can match the true craftsmanship of something like a Rolex or Panerai.
