Nor would I say the F8x is more refined. I think the interior feels cheaper.
The thrust is real, but the power curve and sound are a total letdown. So it depends on what you want and how you drive. But I agree, for most people the F8x is the better buy at current prices. You have to love the S65 to justify it.
I’ve put plenty of miles on a close friend’s base F80 (6MT, non ZCP), I knew I liked the E9x more regardless of price (and have now spent more than him, including some mods).
