2020 BMW 840i Gran Coupe: The best 8 Series coupe is actually a sedan • The 840i Gran Coupe starts at $85,895 in the US, while the M850i xDrive comes in at $109,895 (both prices include $995 for destination). That means the Gran Coupes are $3,000 cheaper than their equivalent two-door counterparts. • Like the two-door coupe and convertible, the 8 Series Gran Coupe is available in M850i xDrive guise, powered by a 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 with a healthy 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. If that's not enough, there will soon be a top-dog M8 Gran Coupe. • It may be the least-powerful 8 Series of the bunch, but don't write off the 840i. The straight-six provides strong power, with full torque thrust delivered at just 1,600 rpm. There's more than enough giddy-up-and-go to shoot the 840i Gran Coupe away from other cars at stoplights. The smooth-as-silk eight-speed automatic transmission is more than willing to drop a gear or two should you dig deeper into the throttle, putting the turbo-six in the heart of its powerband, ideal when dashing past slower cars on two-lane country roads. • Nevertheless, the 8 Series Gran Coupe provides surprisingly generous accommodations for its outboard rear passengers. I'm not exactly a great barometer for headroom, at just 5 feet, 8 inches tall, but I don't have to duck to get inside the 8GC, nor do I feel the need to slouch once seated in back. Legroom is on the shorter side of fine -- again, taller folks might feel differently -- but overall, I find it easy to get comfortable. The sedan's wheelbase is some 8 inches longer than the two-door coupe's, and all of that lengthening has directly benefited rear legroom. • Up front is, of course, the best place to be, with plenty of space for driver and passenger, and super-comfortable seats that offer appropriate amounts of support in all the right places. The 8 Series Gran Coupe's forward cabin basically carries over unchanged from the two-door cars, meaning there's a flat panel of controls near the electronic gear shifter (which can be rendered in crystal, natch), and an easy-to-navigate array of climate controls and shortcut buttons along the center stack. • The 8 Series Gran Coupe coddles you like a big luxury car should. Every single surface is covered in exquisite leather, and the real metal accents are as pleasing to they eye as they are to the touch. All of the 8 Series' controls have great tactility to their action -- nothing feels cheap or flimsy. • Added functionality, with no tradeoffs in luxury, tech or performance. It's no wonder BMW's best-selling coupes are the ones with four doors. • Subscribe: / carsboom
