The Gran Coupe version of the 8 Series adds two extra doors to the conventional car to create the sedan body style that strikes a balance between fun and practicality. With a slew of luxury enhancements and portly powertrain options, the Gran Coupe can be downright luxurious or frenetic.
For 2023, the Gran Coupe shares in the 8 Series’ slightly-tweaked exterior with revamped bumpers and a standard illuminated kidney grille. Other updates include a larger infotainment display, new paint colors, upgraded optional packages, etc. If you’re looking to lease a 2023 BMW 8 Series, read to the end.
Engine And Performance
The 2023 8 Series Gran Coupe can be had in two strengths. First is the 840i model, which is motivated by a silky 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that makes 355 horsepower & 368 lb-ft of torque. Going for the M50i model unveils a fire-breathing 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that cranks out 523 ponies and 553 pound-feet of torque. A tuned variant of this V8 making 612 horsepower is offered on the Alpina B8 model, while the top-tier 617-hp version powers the performance-oriented M8 Gran Coupe. All-wheel drive is standard on every model except the base 840i, which features rear-wheel drive. Regardless of what’s beneath your hood, a well-calibrated eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. The 8 Series Gran Coupe provides a sporty and luxurious driving experience and can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.3 seconds when equipped with the 612-hp V8.
Fuel Economy
We don’t expect to see stellar fuel-efficiency numbers in a segment characterized by burly V8 engines. As expected, the most fuel-efficient 8 Series Gran Coupe is the rear-wheel-drive 840i which gets an EPA rating of 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Interior
Not only is the 8 Series Gran Coupe outright luxurious, but it is also more practical than the coupe and convertible siblings, thanks to its four-door layout. As expected, the 8 Series Gran Coupe gets many premium interior trims and luxury features such as multicolor ambient lighting, four-zone automatic climate control, Merino and Nappa Leather upholstery, full-color head-up display, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, Harman/Kardon audio system, soft-close doors, etc.
Safety And Driver Assistance
Like other high-end BMW lease deals, the 8 Series is well-equipped with modern safety and driver assistance features, including;
- Forward-collision warning
- Automated emergency braking
- Lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology
- Blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic assist
- Traffic sign recognition, etc.
