Say what you want about BMW and its obsession with big-grid SUVs, but Bavarians always know how to make a nice sedan. A worthy replacement for the new Series 6 Gran Coupé, the more practical 8 enhances the grand touring recipe by adding two extra doors and a third rear seat, although the one in the center is "fit for use on short trips".
& # 39;
Longer and wider than its two-door cousins, the Series 8 Gran Coupé is featured in a series of videos featuring the temporary flagship version of the M850i xDrive. Why is this a temporary high-end? It's only a matter of time before BMW unveils the M8 Gran Coupé to face another "big" luxury performance coupe that is actually a sedan – the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S four-door coupe.
& # 39;
If you want to use rear-wheel drive, BMW will be happy to sell you the 840i with a grand arrangement, but the diesel-powered 840d as well as the hottest M850i and M8 will be exclusively equipped with all-wheel drive. With an additional cost, the 840i can also be specified with xDrive. It is interesting to note that the Germans claim that it is the only model in its segment derived from a two-door sports car, having been developed alongside the classic 8 Series coupe and the M8 GTE race car.
& # 39;
Thanks to a much longer roof than the coupe and convertible, BMW engineers were able to develop an exclusive 8 Series Gran Coupé panoramic glass roof measuring approximately 1.5 square meters (approximately 16.1 square feet) . The emphasis being on passengers sitting at the rear, the large and seductive sedan also benefits from four-zone automatic climate control, as well as sun blinds for rear side windows and rear windows.
& # 39;
Overall, it is comforting to know that high-end car manufacturers such as BMW are not moving away from sedans. Yes, with the launch of the X2 and X7, there are now more SUVs than ever before, but the sedans remain important and this Series 8 Gran Coupé is a good example, even if its name did not entirely satisfy us.
