I think most people (including myself) assume we would be comparing the V8 version because it is more on the level with BMW performance numbers. Pretty much every single BMW currently in production would walk on the V6 G8 as far as acceleration is concerned and we all know the BMW should handle better, so there would literally be no comparison between a V6 G8 and any BMW, IMO.
For some reason it seems like it takes nearly 50-100 more HP from most American cars to even hang with an underpowered BMW, so comparing equal HP cars from the two manufacturers doesn't make sense in most cases.
I also assumed that we were comparing performance figures because we all knew that interior and other aspects weren't even a contest.
