Its more like BMW does not have a hypercar, the M5 & M8 are supercars, the terms and perception have changed over the years. If the M5 & M8 are not in the supercar category then what are they in? Back in 2008 my M5 was the fastest production 4 door car in the world, its a supercar.

BMW will never have a 911, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Mclaren type car. They have always been about nice fun cars you drive every day. The Z8 wasnt even a hypercar and it is a shame they all pretty much sit in museums/collections now. Most the Merc hypercars are a collaboration with Mclaren, and not even that good for the price of them.

In todays bucket of supercars I would maybe even put the M3/M4 in there with the M5 & M8. Because below that are sports cars which has Miata, normal Mustang, normal Camaro, etc, cheaper sports cars. The special edition Mustangs/Camaros/Hellcat/Vettes are in the supercar category. Hypercar is for the limited crazy cars which you would barely use unless you track them.
