The RS5 and G8X xDrive version will be similarly priced too. So why should I pay the same amount of money for something I'm embarrassed to look at?
I have no doubt the G8x will be the better driver's car but by how much? Probably not enough to offset all the negatives.

Likely considerably better in certain contexts, but the window of experiential advantage, and the audience who will access those dynamic advantages, are narrowing.
M cars have become more ordinary (engines), competition has caught up.
Exclude hard driving contexts in which the M car shines, I'd need a day driving both in my area to decide between F80 and RS 5 Sportback. Something about the latter. Super practical, cool, subtly aggressive, sort of has a modern E39 M5 quality in my eyes.
