Specifications and Configuration
The 2026 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is a sedan with an automatic eight-speed transmission, a 119-inch wheelbase, and seating-area proportions framed by a 200.3-inch length, 76.1-inch width, and 55.4-inch height. Width with mirrors is 84.1 inches, while curb weight is 4,180 pounds.
Across the lineup, output ranges from 335 to 523 hp and torque ranges from 369 to 553 lb-ft. Engine choices span 3.0 to 4.4 liters, six to eight cylinders, inline or V layouts, and 2,998 to 4,395 cc of displacement. Peak power is reached at 5,000 to 5,500 rpm, with peak torque arriving at 1,600 to 1,800 rpm.
Fuel capacity is 18 gallons, and cargo space behind the rear seats measures 15.5 cubic feet. Premium unleaded is recommended for the 840i and 840i xDrive, while it is required for the M850i xDrive. The 840i uses rear-wheel drive; the 840i xDrive and M850i xDrive use all-wheel drive.

What to Weigh Before Buying
Trim selection changes more than the starting price. The 840i pairs 335 hp with rear-wheel drive, the 840i xDrive keeps the same horsepower and torque with all-wheel drive, and the M850i xDrive moves to 523 hp, 553 lb-ft, an 8-cylinder V engine, and required premium unleaded.
Consider how the sedan’s 15.5 cubic feet of cargo space, 18-gallon fuel capacity, and 4,180-pound curb weight fit daily use. Powertrain preference, fuel requirements, and the difference between the $90,800 base MSRP and the $106,300 upper trim are central parts of the decision.
