Earlier this year, I took the BMW M8 Competition for a spin, and while I was impressed with its corner-carving prowess, I found it entirely too much car for most situations and it sacrificed many of its grand-touring credentials in favor of outright performance.
Now, after a week with the still-plenty-potent 2020 M850i, it's clear that BMW's big-body coupe can be a proper GT, even if some parts of the experience aren't fully realized.
If you want something a bit more lithe, the Porsche 911 is the default go-to, and the Mercedes-AMG GT offers decent comfort in an even more constricting wrapper.
You could opt for the Maserati GranTurismo, I suppose, if you want a drop-dead gorgeous car that's otherwise utterly outclassed by every other name mentioned.
