Overview

Written by automotive expert Josh Jacquot

Updated: 9/22/2026

The 2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is a more attractive way to haul four people than the traditional 7 Series sedan. Sure, it makes some compromises in comfort — mostly for rear passengers — but it's still a reasonably useful luxury sedan. The same sloping roofline that cuts into headroom gives this Gran Coupe, the biggest in BMW's lineup, striking low and wide proportions. It's also loaded with tech and standard features like navigation, four-zone climate control, and multiple drive modes that can be distinguished from one another.

Very Good

7.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 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.

Driving experience

8.2/10

How does the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe drive? We tested the 840i xDrive, which has all-wheel drive. BMW's turbocharged six-cylinder provides plenty of smooth power. At the Edmunds test track, our car hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. That's quick 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 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. 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. When you're not driving with enthusiasm, the adaptive suspension's Comfort setting filters out a lot of the ride harshness.

Visibility is good for a coupe, but if you spring for the Driver Assistance package, the 360-degree camera system and parking sensors eliminate all guesswork. In addition, the 8 Series has an excellent suite of advanced driver aids. These features fall short of what Mercedes offers, but they prove convenient in rush-hour traffic.

Comfort

7.5/10

2025 bmw 8 series gran coupe m850i xdrive

How comfortable is the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe? The 840i strikes a nice balance of comfort and sport. The front seats provide good support and adjustability. In back, the 8 Series is pretty comfortable, though we'd like the seatbacks to be less upright.

The 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.

There's plenty of passenger space inside the 8 Series Gran Coupe. Sure, it concedes some headroom because of the sleek roofline, which also complicates getting in and out. But legroom is abundant, and the driver's seat and steering column have more adjustment range than most need.

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.

If car seats are a part of your life, the Gran Coupe has you covered. It has an abundance of backseat space and easy-to-access car seat anchors.

In-cabin tech

7.6/10

How’s the tech? The 8 Series makes a strong showing on the tech front, including useful voice commands for tasks like turning on the ventilated seats. 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.

Storage & cargo

6/10

How’s storage and cargo? With trunk space of 15.5 cubic feet, the 8 Series Gran Coupe slots between the Mercedes-Benz 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.

Value

7.4/10

Is the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe a good value? In general, we think the 8 Series is a pretty good value. It's priced significantly less than its closest competitors 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.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The 840i Gran Coupe with all-wheel drive, which is what we tested, has an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined. That's a few mpg better than comparable versions of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT and Porsche Panamera. We averaged 22.5 mpg over 600 miles of mixed driving, which is an indication that the EPA's estimate is realistic.

X factor

10/10

Sure, the 840i Gran Coupe 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.

Buying Tips for the 2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe for October

The 2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is essentially sold out new, so this is a used-car search now, not a new-car negotiation play.

New supply is effectively gone. There is just 1 new vehicle nationwide, and as a 2025 model, no fresh shipments are coming. If you want a specific trim or color, the used market is the practical path.
Used inventory is thin too, with only 21 used vehicles nationwide. The 840i appears to be the easiest trim to find, while choices stay tighter for the xDrive models, so be ready to expand your search radius.
Used prices start around $64,000 for the model, and the lowest listed 840i is closer to $58,000. That big gap versus the original sticker can mean strong value, but with so few cars available, the best listings may move fast.

2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe trim level differences

The 2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is a four-door sedan that seats 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, 369 lb-ft of torque) powers the 840i models, while the M850i xDrive uses a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft). Both engines pair with an eight-speed sport automatic transmission. Compare the 2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe trim levels in-depth.

Which 8 Series Gran Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the 840i xDrive is worth the small premium BMW asks for it, which is about $3,000. Springing for the xDrive version of this Gran Coupe adds both all-weather versatility and genuine performance improvements with better corner-exit grip and more fun all around. But it still keeps the price below that of most competitors.

Competitors to consider

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT sedan and the Porsche Panamera are the 8 Series Gran Coupe's primary competitors. The base AMG GT sedan offers about 30 more horsepower than the BMW but it's also more expensive to start. The Benz is offered in a handful of versions with outputs from tame to ludicrous. Porsche asks for even more money than Benz to start in this category but, with its redesign for 2024, it is the newest of the bunch. One important note: Both the AMG GT sedan and the Panamera come with only four seats. You'll have to pony up additional cash for an optional fifth passenger seat in the rear of both.

Edmunds spotlight: More performance than advertised

There's a little bit of M car in every version of this sloping roofline sedan, even if BMW doesn't really talk it up in the base models. Even the base-trim 8 Series 840i and 840i xDrive offer substantial performance thanks to their potent 335-horsepower inline-six. What's more, every 8 Series Gran Coupe has adaptive dampers and a limited-slip rear differential. Opt for the more powerful M850i and you add active roll stabilization, which further minimizes body roll. But best of all it's still a sedan that can behave like one. Its rear seats are adequate for medium-height people and amply sized for child seats. It's a four-door "coupe" that strikes a solid balance between fashion and function.
