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.
Model | Maximum Power (hp) | Peak Torque (Nm) | Acceleration (zero to 62mph)* | Top Speed (mph)* | Fuel economy (mpg)* | CO2 emissions (g/km)* | OTR price |
840i | 340 | 500 | 5.2 | 155 | 37.7-38.2 | 168 | £69,340 |
M850i xDrive | 530 | 750 | 3.9 | 155 | 28.2-28.5 | 229 | £97,720 |
840d xDrive | 320 | 680 | 5.1 | 155 | 44.8-45.6 | 162 | £73,915 |
*All figures relating to the performance, fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions are provisional.
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.

high-gloss fine wood trim can also be found on the options list,
alongside the Carbon Fibre variant. 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

can be up to 40 seconds in length, comprising the 20 seconds of video
saved immediately prior to the Drive Recorder being activated and the
next 20 seconds. 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. Once the driver has given
their consent, passengers are able to connect their smartphone to the
car using the Connected Command function and then use it to control
selected functions.
BMW Digital Key
The BMW Digital Key employs Near
Field Communication (NFC) technology to allow the new BMW 8 Series
Gran Coupé to be locked and unlocked from selected smartphones. It is

functionality as a suitably equipped smartphone.
Connected Navigation with new digital services
“Connected Navigation” encompasses a number of digital services
that are designed to make route planning even easier and more
sophisticated. Drivers of the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé will be able
to send destinations from various apps straight to their car’s
navigation system. The most important destinations will be stored in
BMW Connected and synchronised with the car so that the key addresses
can be accessed from any device at any time. One particularly helpful
new feature is the Parking Space Assistant, which proposes various
parking options to the driver before the destination is reached.
BMW Operating System 7.0 display and control concept
The newly designed instrument cluster/Control Display screen
grouping and extended functionality take intuitive operation to the
next level in the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé, while helping drivers
