The 2019聽BMW聽8 Series Gran Coupe is the four-door version of the two-door BMW 8 Series 蹿濒补驳蝉丑颈辫听sports car. As such, the Gran Coupe鈥檚 front end is practically identical to its smaller sibling鈥檚, sporting the same lean headlights and wide 鈥榢idney鈥� grille: the classic BMW trademark.

Things change as you travel further backwards: the Gran Coupe has a more upright windscreen and rear window, intended to increase front headroom and boot space respectively. Oh yes, and then there鈥檚 the minor detail of the Gran Coupe having double the number of doors than the standard 8 Series coupe.

The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe鈥檚 wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels) is 3,023mm 鈥� 201mm over the standard BMW 8 Series鈥�. This means that the car will have more generous legroom for its rear passengers. Meanwhile, the steeper angle of the windscreen and rear windows will make for more headroom wherever you鈥檙e sat.

BMW calls the Gran Coupe a 鈥�4+1-seater鈥�, citing 鈥� alongside the two proper front and rear seats 鈥� the space for a fifth passenger in the middle of the rear bench, which, it claims, 鈥渋s suitable for use on short journeys鈥�. So, ideally, the Gran Coupe is best for accommodating anywhere up to four adults.

The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe has three engines for you to choose from: two petrols and one diesel. The entry-level version of the car 鈥� the 840i 鈥� is rear-wheel drive and has a six-cylinder petrol engine capable of putting out 340hp. This can take the Gran Coupe from 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds while returning a claimed fuel economy of up to 38.2mpg.

From initial appearances, it seems that the mid-range 840d is going to be the pick of the 8 Series Gran Coupe range. It鈥檚 four-wheel-drive, meaning that 鈥� while its maximum power output is just 320hp 鈥� it can reach 62mph from a standstill in 5.1 seconds, with an impressive fuel economy of up to 45.6mpg.

The range-topping,聽four-wheel-drive聽M850i trades economy for pure power. It goes from 0-62mph in only 3.9 seconds and has 530hp to play with. Sadly, BMW claims that it returns just 28.5mpg.
