They're different platforms so it's foolish to really compare. If you want to talk luxury features, obviously the BMW would suit better. If you want just performance then it depends because again it's 2 different cars.
If BMW made a corvette z06 equivalent, they'd charge 180k+. And it probably won't be able to compete with a corvette anyway. Corvettes are perfect at what they're built for. And BMW M cars are perfect at what they're built for. 2 different cars. 2 different classes.
A corvette z06 would always be faster than an M5 stock or even an M8 aside from a dig but on track and in the 1/4 a corvette z06 will always be faster. Stock C7Z's have been trapping in the low 130s. The fastest stock C7Z was 10.4 @ 134. M8 is 10.7? M5 same thing?
Corvettes aren't even drag cars yet it does that well. I suspect the C8 z06 to run a 10.3-10.4 stock with it's immediate traction. It's rumored to run the ring at 7 minutes flat or even better.
An M8 runs the ring in 7:32 or something. Which is oddly slow for an M car with that much power. A base C8 stingray ran it in 7:29.
I mean i totally get it if you prefer one brand over the next but at least be real in the comparison lol

This is precisely my point, if BMW offered a dedicated chassis model (as they have in the past - most recently was the Z8) it would be very expensive and nowhere near the price point of the Corvette.
In every case you cite, a base C7 or C8 beats an M car in performance and at a lower MSRP.
