Why does the BMW M8 have a V8 engine instead of a V12?

I've noticed that most high-performance cars in this category have V12 engines, while the BMW M8 only has a V8. What is BMW's reasoning behind this decision?

The decision to use a V8 engine in the BMW M8 was a deliberate choice by BMW to balance power and weight. The V8's compact size and lighter weight allow for better performance and agility, while still providing impressive power.

Having a V8 engine also allows for better fuel efficiency compared to a V12. BMW wanted to make the M8 a more practical daily driver while still offering high-performance capabilities.

From a technical standpoint, a V8 engine is also easier and more cost-effective to maintain and repair compared to a V12. This makes the BMW M8 a more reliable and affordable option in the long run.
