Used 2023 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 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.

A turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (335 horsepower, 368 lb-ft of torque) powers the 840i models, while the M850i xDrive steps up to a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft). Both variants use an eight-speed sport automatic transmission.

The 840i xDrive Gran Coupe includes all of the above plus:

    • Front cross-traffic alert (warns if a vehicle is about to cross your path at intersections)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)

Which 8 Series Gran Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

For the best bang for your buck, go with the 840i xDrive. It offers fully sufficient power and handles exceptionally well for a car its size, and it's even better with all-wheel drive and the all-weather peace of mind that comes with it. The 840i xDrive also costs tens of thousands less than the M850i.
