Following the launch of the new BMW 8 Series Coupé and new BMW 8 Series Convertible, the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé is now poised to make its debut.

With its four-door body design, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé combines everyday practicality and supreme handling with the latest innovations in control/operation, driver assistance and connectivity.

The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé is the only model in its segment derived directly from a two-door sports car. It is a consequence of development alongside the new BMW 8 Series Coupé and M8 GTE racing car, which competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IWSC) in North America. The world premiere of the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé will be a highlight of the inaugural BMW Group #NEXTGen event in Munich on 25 June and the UK launch of the new car will commence in September 2019.

Exterior design
The design of the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé’s flanks and rear end distinguishes it from its 8 Series stablemates. The four-door model has a 3,023-millimetre wheelbase – an increase of 201mm over the BMW 8 Series Coupé – and measures 5,082mm in length (+231mm), 1,932mm in width (+30mm) and 1,407mm in height (+61mm). The front track width of 1,627mm is the same as the two-door car’s, while the rear track of 1,671mm is 28mm wider, making it the widest of any current BMW model.

The Gran Coupé’s front section is identical to the 8 Series Coupé’s design up to the start of the A-pillars. Because the windscreen frame is slightly more upright, the roofline rises to a greater height by the time it reaches the front seats, meaning additional front and rear headroom. The rear window follows a slightly steeper line in order to produce a larger boot aperture and the surface contouring around the C-pillars has been facilitated by a rear window that forms a fixed part of the body structure and a conventional boot lid. These two design features also have a positive impact on the body’s torsional rigidity and acoustic comfort in the car’s interior. Integrating the antenna technology into the rear window and boot lid has dispensed with the need for a roof fin.

Powerful front end, optional BMW Laserlight 
The slim twin headlights are positioned slightly higher and define the brand’s signature look with LED units generating both the daytime driving lights and low/high-beam headlights from the two pairs of light tubes. Adaptive LED headlights featuring variable light distribution and cornering lights come as standard. There is also the option of BMW Laserlight with variable road illumination and Selective Beam, which produces a high-beam range of around 600 metres.

The side view is composed of just a few character lines that trace the flow of air exiting the Air Breathers. The side window graphic reaches its conclusion at the rear in another hallmark BMW design cue – the Hofmeister kink.

At the rear, twin exhaust tailpipes with a trapezoidal contour are positioned either side of the rear apron’s lower section. The tailpipes are integrated into the diffuser element on the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé and on models specified with the M Sport package.

The optional panoramic glass roof is specific to the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé. The continuous glass surface extends from the windscreen back to the rear window and results in a total glass surface area of around 1.5sq m. The front section of the roof has an electric mechanism that allows it to be opened and closed at the touch of a button or with the radio remote control, while the rear blind can be opened and closed from the rear compartment.

Optimised aerodynamics and weight 
The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé features an almost completely sealed underbody, active air flap control with adjustable kidney grille slats, air curtains in the front apron and super-slender exterior mirror bases. An additional front spoiler lip on the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé minimises front-axle lift at high speeds.

An aluminium monocoque construction is used for its doors and the outer skin of the roof, while elements such as the bonnet, front shear panel, engine subframe, front bulkhead and rear bumper support are also made from aluminium. The plastic boot lid, the magnesium cockpit support and the use of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic in the centre tunnel help to both reduce weight and optimise distribution. As a result, the four-door is only 70kg heavier than the Coupé. Fitting the optional carbon-fibre roof lowers the car’s centre of gravity even further and there is also the option of a Carbon package comprising air intake bars, exterior mirror caps and a rear diffuser insert all made from CFRP.

V8 engine: sensational power and acoustics
Updates to engine technology have improved power delivery and thrust to go with the acoustic charge from the standard flap-controlled M Sport exhaust system. The new V8 delivers peak torque of 750Nm with a maximum power output of 530hp.

The BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from zero to 62mph in 3.9 seconds with an average fuel consumption of 28.2-28.5mph and combined CO2 emissions of 229g/km.

The 3.0-litre straight-six, twin turbo diesel unit in the 840d xDrive Gran Coupé delivers a peak torque of 680Nm and 320hp. The zero to 62mph sprint takes 5.1 seconds while average fuel consumption is at 44.8-45.6mpg with CO2 emissions of 162g/km.

The newly developed six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology weighs in at around six kilograms less than the engine it replaces and delivers 340hp with improved torque of 500Nm. This enables the new BMW 840i Gran Coupé to dart from zero to 62mph in 5.2 seconds. The new, more efficient straight-six unit returns combined fuel consumption figures of 37.7-38.2mpg for the BMW 840i Gran Coupé together with CO2 emissions of 168g/km.

Chassis technology sharpened with racing know-how 
BMW M GmbH’s motor racing experience had a formative influence on the chassis technology’s design and tuning. Torsion struts on the front axle and a shear panel incorporated on the rear axle optimise stiffness and the connection of suspension components to the body. Independent rubber bearings – which increase camber stiffness – and additional damping plates at the rear axle further enhance the suspension’s dynamic baseline setup. All these measures have combined to increase the car’s ability to put down its power through high-speed corners.

Adaptive M suspension with bespoke tuning 
The suspension has been tuned precisely to match the dimensions and weight of the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé, which has enabled it to share the performance qualities of the BMW 8 Series Coupé. Standard specification includes Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers. The extremely stiff suspension springs reduce body roll and allow the dampers to stabilise the wheels as much as possible and reduce traction loss caused by uneven surfaces. The dampers respond adaptively to both road surface conditions and driving style, while their characteristics can be adjusted via the Driving Experience Control switch.

Integral Active Steering brings added agility and poise 
The Integral Active Steering fitted as standard in the all-wheel-drive model variants and as an option for the new BMW 840i Gran Coupé makes even lighter work of manoeuvring, while also increasing agility and poise. The system combines Servotronic speed-sensitive power assistance and a variable steering ratio at the front wheels with a steering rear axle. The rear wheels are steered differently depending on the vehicle’s speed, turning in the opposite direction to the front wheels at speeds of up to 45mph and in the same direction at higher speeds.

Active roll stabilisation geared towards sporty driving 
The active roll stabilisation feature included in the optional Adaptive M suspension Professional delivers even sportier handling characteristics and will adapt to changing requirements. It optimises agility and directional stability on turn-in and helps line the car up for dynamic acceleration out of corners.

M Sport differential
The M Sport differential, which comes as standard on the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé and BMW 840i Gran Coupé and can be specified for the other model variants as part of the M Technic Sport Package, makes the car’s handling even more dynamic. The electronically controlled rear differential lock limits optimises traction and power transfer on roads where grip levels vary between the left and right rear wheels and also stops understeer or oversteer – without braking inputs – when negotiating a quick succession of bends or in situations involving multiple changes of direction and load.

BMW xDrive
The BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system also has an extremely beneficial effect on the handling with fully variable distribution of torque between the front and rear wheels to maximise traction and handling stability. Power is split using an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch networked with the powertrain and chassis systems. At the same time, the system’s rear-biased set-up guarantees the driving experience for which BMW sports cars are renowned.

Eight-speed Steptronic transmission with gearshift paddles on the steering wheel
All engines are matched to the latest version of the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission. Manual gear changes can be carried out using the standard shift paddles on the steering wheel, while the Launch Control function allows the car to power off with unbeatable traction.

Intelligent connectivity enhances dynamics and efficiency
The eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission’s control unit can adapt its shift strategy to the situation at hand using intelligent connectivity. Data from the standard Navigation system Professional is used to shift down early when approaching a junction, using engine braking to slow the car or to avoid unnecessary gear shifts between two bends arriving in quick succession.

Intelligent connectivity also enhances the efficiency of the drive system. The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé features situation-based control of the Auto Start Stop function using data collected from the navigation system and the cameras and radar sensors of the standard/optional driver assistance systems. In this way, inefficient engine shutdown – for example when stopping briefly at junctions – can be prevented. The coasting function – available in six-cylinder models – is also controlled intelligently to make sure the powertrain is only decoupled in suitable driving situations.

Model-specific M Sport braking systems, light-alloy wheels with mixed-size high-performance tyres 

All versions of the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé have braking systems that combine four-piston, fixed-calliper brakes at the front and single-piston, floating-calliper brakes at the rear. The electromechanical parking brake is integrated into the rear callipers. The optional M Sport package includes M Sport brakes with 374mm discs, while the M Technic Sport Package adds the 395mm brake discs fitted as standard on the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé. Both versions of the M Sport braking system are recognisable by their blue callipers bearing the M logo.

The new BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé features 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in a Frozen Cerium Grey metallic finish, with high-performance tyres (front: 245/35 R20, rear: 275/30 R20) purpose-developed for the BMW 8 Series. The other models in the range also feature mixed-size tyres, with standard equipment including 18‑inch light-alloy wheels fitted with 245/45 R18 tyres at the front and 275/40 R18 tyres at the rear. Models with the M Sport package ride on 19‑inch M light-alloy wheels with 245/40 R19 tyres at the front and 275/35 R19 tyres at the rear, and the M Technic Sport Package upgrades to 20-inch light-alloy wheels and high-performance tyres.

M Sport package, M Technic Sport Package and Chrome Line Exterior
The model-specific M Sport package which is standard incorporates extra-large air intakes in the front apron, a prominently contoured rear apron with a grey diffuser and specially designed side skirts along with other eye-catching details. The kidney grille slats have Aluminium matt faces and the inside of the Air Breathers is finished in Pearl-effect Chrome. The M Technic Sport Package adds visual highlights courtesy of extended BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line trim for the BMW kidney grille surround and slats, the Air Breathers, exhaust tailpipes and the side window borders.

The Chrome Line option includes a chrome finish for the side window graphic and exterior mirror bases instead of High-gloss black, plus High-gloss Chrome for the BMW kidney grille surround and slats, and the exhaust tailpipes. There is also a High-gloss Chrome bar between the integral tailpipes on the left and right of the rear apron, another feature exclusive to the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé.

Special design features have also been used to accentuate the highly individual look of the new BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé. The aerodynamically optimised bodywork elements included in the M Sport package are complemented by a front spoiler lip and combine with exclusive styling elements in Cerium Grey. These coloured elements include the BMW kidney grille surround and slats, exterior mirror caps, Air Breather inlays and tailpipe trims, the M logo on the front flanks and the model badge on the rear.

The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé will be launched with a choice of one non-metallic and six metallic exterior paint finishes. Carbon Black metallic and Barcelona Blue metallic will be offered as additional exterior colours for the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé and in conjunction with the M Sport package.

Besides this, the range of highly exclusive options composed by BMW Individual includes Piano Finish Black trim and Black Ash Silver Effect high-gloss fine wood trim.

Levels of space and comfort that set new standards for a BMW Coupé
Thanks to the extra 201mm of wheelbase over the BMW 8 Series Coupé and the generously sized door apertures, passengers enjoy increased legroom and easier access. The Gran Coupé offers substantially greater shoulder room and headroom than in the two-door version.

Standard-fit ambient lighting uses LED fibre optic light guides that run along the contour lines of the centre console and the door shoulders in the front and rear. The colour of the light can be changed via the iDrive menu. In addition, the Dynamic interior light function emits pulsating light signals in specific situations, for example on the inner panelling of an open door when the engine is running and on the instrument panel in response to an incoming phone call.

Leather trim as standard, 40: 20:40 split/folding rear backrest
The front sports seats feature head restraints integrated into the backrests, electric seat adjustment and even a standard memory function for both driver and front passenger. The standard-specification Vernasca leather trim is available in Black, Cognac and Ivory White.

The Drive Recorder can be started at any time from the iDrive menu. In the event of a collision, the 20 seconds up to the moment of impact and the next 20 seconds are automatically recorded and saved.  


BMWs digital personality
BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is standard on the 8 Series Gran Coupé and it is an intelligent digital character who responds to the prompt “Hey BMW” and is an intrinsic element of the operating system. It helps the driver, learns their habits and is familiar with their favoured settings – e.g. for the seat heating or the places they drive to frequently using the navigation system. One unique feature compared with other digital assistants of this type is the option of giving the system a name that’s personal to the driver.

In-car experiences: individual wellness and relaxation while on the move
The Intelligent Personal Assistant even attends to the driver’s sense of wellbeing with the Caring Car function. This includes vitality and relaxation programmes, which activate a carefully orchestrated combination of various functions such as the air conditioning, seat heating/ventilation and music to refresh or relax the driver while they are at the wheel. The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé additionally offers three different Experience Modes for the interior: Executive, Expressive and Wellbeing, which are geared to suit the driver’s mood. The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé also allows passengers to mould the driving experience.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging.
