Why does the BMW M8 have a V8 engine?

I've noticed that the BMW M8 has a V8 engine, but some other high-performance cars use V12 engines. Why did BMW choose a V8 engine for the M8?

Hey Jessica, the V8 engine in the M8 provides better weight distribution and handling compared to a V12 engine.

Hi Jessica, the V8 engine allows designers to create a more compact and aerodynamic engine bay, resulting in better overall performance.
