A quote for "german researchers"? You know better than that, a link to the study would be helpful.
We're not talking about the benifits of drinking lots of water, we're talking about 8 glasses specifically. The right amount of water is of course the exact amount that you sweat and pee out every day. That link doesn't even say 8 glasses, it says "enough" that varies, and gives ways to tell if you are getting enough. That seems more rational.
As for water helping with weight loss, it helps psychologically for sure (drink something to feel less hungry, etc), but the water itself doesn't facilitate the weight loss; if you take in less calories than you burn, you lose weight. And I'm not convinced that drinking lots of water has an impact on a metabolism.

I absolutely agree with what you're saying about losing weight...in the end, burning more calories than you take in will result in weight loss.
