Reviewer score 49% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

Despite its greater girth and mass, the four-door version of this car carries off much the same gently sporting, fairly GT-appropriate sort of driver appeal as the two-door manages. Taller occupants will find the back of the 8-Series reasonable for foot and knee room though a little bit meager for head room. A Porsche Panamera, Audi A7 and a Mercedes CLS all offer better rear passenger accommodation.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Lack of dynamic versatility
Dull, toneless engine

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The 8 Series Gran Coupe is a four-door, four-seat sports car. It also has a decent 440-litre boot and space for four inside. The 840i is likely to be the biggest seller, with 335bhp and 500Nm of torque. There's the same 840i but with xDrive, a similarly-equipped 840d and the range-topping top-spec 850i.

Pros

Powerful engine
Comfortable to drive
Lots of tech

Cons

Expensive compared to rivals

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The 2019 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe has three engines for you to choose from. The entry-level 840i is rear-wheel drive and has a 340hp petrol engine. The range-topping, four-wheel-drive M850i trades economy for pure power. It goes from 0-62mph in only 3.9 seconds and has 530hp.

Pros

Four-door version of the 8 Series
Good range-topping engine

Cons

Not as spacious as standard 8 Series
