Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

5/18/2022

The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is a sedan that occupies the niche between the midsize 5 Series and full-size 7 Series, but it's more than just another case of "same sausage, different length." For starters, the 8 Series Gran Coupe features a coupe-like design inspired by the two-door 8 Series, and with that comes a rear hatch instead of a trunk. Also like the two-door 8 Series, the Gran Coupe is positioned as a sportier option within the lineup, and as such it features a unique blend of comfort and performance that places a bit more emphasis on the latter.

Even in base form, the Gran Coupe is quick and agile for a car its size. But upgrade to the V8-powered M850i xDrive or the full-bore M8 (reviewed separately), and you have one of the most potent four-doors on the market. For 2022, all 8 Series Gran Coupe models receive the M Sport package and upgraded leather upholstery as standard. However, due to the global supply chain shortage, some models are being sold without touchscreen functionality. To make up for that missing feature, BMW is issuing a $500 credit.

The 8 Series Gran Coupe competes with other sloped-roofline luxury sedans, including the Porsche Panamera, Audi S7 and Mercedes-AMG GT. Find out how it compares by reading our test team's Expert Rating below.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Jonathan Elfalan

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2022 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the 8 Series Gran Coupe drive? We tested the 840i xDrive, which has all-wheel drive. BMW's turbocharged six-cylinder provides more power than you'll need on a daily basis, and it delivers it in an impressively smooth manner. At the Edmunds test track, our car hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. That's a quick time though typical for a base-engine luxury sedan of this size. Braking performance is strong, but the pedal's lack of finesse can make it hard to consistently stop smoothly.

Around turns, the 8 Series Gran Coupe is stable yet deceivingly quick. There's heaps of traction and you don't have to tiptoe around it either. Just mash it and go. The steering effort is light, and the 840i is easy to maneuver around town. The steering doesn't provide much feedback, but it's accurate and complements the accessible handling capabilities of this car. This is a well-sorted luxury sedan.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the 8 Series Gran Coupe? The 840i strikes a nice balance of comfort and sport. The adaptive suspension's Comfort setting filters out a lot of the ride harshness we experienced in the high-performance M8. The front seats provide a nice amount of support and adjustability. In back, the 8 Series is pretty comfortable, though we'd like the seatbacks to be less upright.

The 840 cabin is well insulated against wind and tire noise. You'll hear the six-cylinder when you rev it out. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound as sweet as the M850i's V8. The climate controls aren't very intuitive to use, and the air conditioning lacks the cooling power we'd want for really hot days. The optional seat ventilation is also pretty weak.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? There's plenty of passenger space inside the 8 Series Gran Coupe. Sure, it concedes some headroom because of the sleek roofline. But legroom is abundant, and the driver's seat and steering column have more adjustment range than most of us will know what to do with.

The lower roofline is a bit of a hassle when it comes to getting in and out of the car, particularly the back. It also slightly impedes rear visibility. But if you spring for the Driver Assistance package, the 360-degree camera system and parking sensors eliminate any need to guess.

BMW's iDrive isn't the most intuitive to learn, but once you've become acquainted, it works well and doesn't distract you from the road. The use of a dial controller and touchscreen provides good redundant control, unlike Audi and Porsche, which have gone full touchscreen.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The 8 Series makes a strong showing on the tech front, primarily with an excellent suite of advanced driver aids and capable voice command system. These features fall a bit short of what Mercedes offers, but they prove convenient when it comes to easing the burden of rush-hour traffic or turning on your seat ventilation without lifting a finger.

The standard Harman Kardon audio system delivers solid sound. We don't see any real benefit to upgrading to the pricier Bowers & Wilkins systems. The 840i also comes with onboard navigation that's easy to use. Wireless Apple CarPlay smartphone integration is also included, and Android Auto is finally rolling out as a late addition on the 8 Series. Our test car had four USB ports and two 12-volt power ports.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? With trunk space of 15.5 cubic feet, the Gran Coupe slots between the AMG GT and the Porsche Panamera. Helping matters out are the 40/20/40-split rear seats that fold nearly flat via the trunk-mounted releases. The low liftover height (it's lower than the AMG GT's and Panamera's) and hands-free trunk function make loading groceries easier if your hands are full.

In-cabin storage is a bit lacking, but the available areas including the center armrest and glovebox are more usefully sized. If car seats are a part of your life, rest assured that the Gran Coupe has you covered. It has an abundance of backseat space and easy-to-access car seat anchors.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The 840i Gran Coupe with all-wheel drive has an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined (20 city/27 highway). That's more fuel-efficient than the Panamera 4 (20 mpg combined) or Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 (21 mpg combined).

We averaged 22.5 mpg over 600 miles of mixed driving, which is an indication that the EPA figures are realistic. Traffic was particularly light due to the 2020 pandemic, but it's still a good indication the 840i is one of the more efficient models in its class.

Value

8/10

Is the 8 Series Gran Coupe a good value? You might have a hard time believing a $100,000 car could be considered a "good value," but hear us out. Within this class, the 840i xDrive Gran Coupe actually comes in around $12,000 less than its closest competitor without any compromise in performance or build quality. Cabin design will always have an element of subjectivity, but we think the BMW's is as solid as any, even if it's not designed to evoke as much luxury.

BMW's warranty and ownership perks are better than most, too. The basic and powertrain warranties align with other German makes at four years/50,000 miles, with a generous 12-year rust-through warranty and roadside assistance for four years. BMW is also the only one in this class that offers complimentary maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard

9/10

Sure, the 840i packs almost 300 horsepower less than the M8, but it is still rewarding and fun to drive. It also devours curvy roads with surprising ease. The beauty of all this is you don't really give up much by adding two extra doors. This coupe-style sedan has style to draw the right kind of attention plus genuine space for family or friends.

2022 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe trim level differences

The 2022 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is a four-door sedan with seating for five. It is offered in three trim levels: 840i (rear-wheel drive), 840i xDrive (all-wheel drive) and M850i xDrive (AWD). The high-performance BMW M8 Gran Coupe is covered in a separate review. Compare the 2022 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe trim levels in-depth.

Which 8 Series Gran Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

The M850i with its 523-horsepower V8 is tempting, but we think the 840i xDrive is the better buy for $20,000 less. It's not as powerful but it's still satisfying to drive thanks to the 8 Series Gran Coupe's innate handling prowess and the sure-footedness of all-wheel drive.
