2025 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Trims Comparison

Which 2025 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.

2025 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. Keep reading for our rundown of the vehicle's most significant standard and optional features.
