High-performance sedans styled like coupes are all about having cake and eating it too. The 2022 BMW M8 Gran Coupe straddles this line and, depending on your view, it's either a more practical two-door M8 coupe or a more stylish BMW M5 sedan. Compared to the M8 coupe, the Gran Coupe is longer, wider, taller and has two more doors. The Gran Coupe offers more cabin space, especially in the back seat, and if you have child seats, it accommodates.
Whether you see it as a more stylish sedan or more practical coupe, one thing is certain: It's freakishly fast and capable. It's a big car, but its turbocharged V8 engine, grippy tires, sport suspension and big brakes make it surprisingly invigorating on a winding road. The M8 Gran Coupe is pretty quiet and comfortable on the highway too.
A handful of other rivals are vying for tops in this class, though. The Audi RS 7, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 and Porsche Panamera Turbo S are all roughly the same size and deliver similar performance and features. Read our Expert Rating below to see if the M8 Gran Coupe best suits your needs in this group of overachievers.
Performance
If you're someone who loves a curvy road, the M8 may surprise you with how adept it is tackling those as well. It will keep up with all but the quickest and lightest sports cars through those curves and be way more comfortable and quiet doing it. Powerful brakes and sticky tires help the cause, and the M8 registered 104 feet stopping from 60 mph, another incredible figure. Dump that "weekend car" — you won't need it here.
Comfort
The M8 is also one of the quieter cars in the class (with the exception of that V8 bark at startup). Wind and tire noise is kept well at bay, and the cabin is free of squeaks and vibrations. The climate controls, like those in many BMWs, aren't the most intuitive to use, but they do a decent job of maintaining a target cabin temp. We had a hard time telling if the seat ventilation was working.

Interior
BMW's iDrive system isn't the most intuitive to learn, but once you've become acquainted with it, it works well and doesn't distract you from the road. The presence of a dial controller and touchscreen provides good redundant control, unlike Audi and Porsche, which have gone full touchscreen.
Technology
The optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system delivers solid sound and feels worth the price, especially since some competitor systems cost twice as much. The M8 also comes with onboard navigation that's easy to use and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. There are more than enough USBs and power ports for all passenger devices.
Storage
In-cabin storage is a bit lacking, as in most other luxury performance cars, 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. Aside from an abundance of backseat space, the car seat anchors are very easy to get to, located under elegant magnetic leather flaps. Surprisingly one of the best anchor executions we've seen.
Fuel Economy
We recorded an exceptional fill of 21.8 mpg on our 115-mile drive loop that is highway-heavy but includes mountain roads and city streets as well. Traffic was particularly light due to the pandemic, but it's still a good indication the M8 can outperform its economy estimates if driven with some restraint. Of note, the onboard fuel computer was spot-on with our calculations.
Value
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.

BMW M8 Gran Coupe vs. the competition

2022 BMW M8 Gran Coupe

2022 Porsche Panamera
BMW M8 Gran Coupe vs. Porsche Panamera
Given its size, you might think the Porsche Panamera couldn't possibly be as dynamic as its more famous smaller coupe counterparts. But the Panamera drives as sharply as anything wearing a Porsche badge. On paper, the BMW has the power edge, but in terms of real acceleration, the Panamera GTS trim is right on pace. The Porsche is about the same size as the BMW, but it offers more cargo space. The cost to equip a Panamera like an M8 Gran Coupe, however, quickly escalates into eye-watering territory.
BMW M8 Gran Coupe vs. Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
Like the M8 Gran Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT aims for the look of a sleek coupe with four doors. That means somewhat compromised passenger space for the sake of style. The AMG sacrifices more than the BMW, especially in terms of cargo area. And for 2022, Mercedes has dropped the 63 S trim, which was the closest performance equivalent to the M8 Gran Coupe. That said, the price also drops significantly.
BMW M8 Gran Coupe vs. Audi RS 7
Another sleek four-door, the Audi RS 7 is a high-performance machine that sacrifices little in speed and power but also leans more toward overall passenger comfort than blazing thrills. It offers more passenger and cargo space than the BMW. The RS 7's hatch area is actually larger than the trunks of most traditional sedans. The Audi is supremely fun to drive too, and it's roughly equal in raw performance to the M8 Gran Coupe.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 BMW M8 Gran Coupe?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
