The 840 i Gran Coupe — back to cool! Handsome and spacious, this four-door version of BMW’s top coupe is powered by a 3.0-liter Inline-6 Gas Engine with 8-Speed Automatic Transmission. It replaces the 6 Series Gran Coupe and is rooted in modernness, sportiness and all-out power! Often described as BMW’s flagship model, the Gran Coupe makes the brand relevant in the luxury four-door niche. Its exterior is complete with a massive grille, slender headlamps with optional Laser-light technology, a sporty front splitter, taller roof, sleek profile and aggressive M Sport Package. As sporty as the coupe, the Gran Coupe is longer, featuring an additional pair of doors and more space for passengers. Almost identical to the standard 8 series, this car is set apart by the section from the B-pillars to the deck lid. There is also a reshaped roof and larger rear windows. In terms of size, the Gran Couple is obviously bigger than the two-door 8 Series. At 200 inches long, it is nearly 10 inches longer than the two-door version. This vehicle is also 1.2 inches wider and sits 2.2 inches taller compared to the coupe. It also has a larger trunk than the two-door coupe. Inside, it boasts new technology, a large infotainment display, leather upholstery, digital instrument cluster and both enhanced front headroom and way more rear legroom. A wide center console rises toward the dashboard to separate the driver and front passenger areas and the same freestanding and frameless 10.25 inch infotainment display. The infotainment system has the ability to detect the driver and activate specific settings by downloading a profile from the BMW Cloud or through the vehicle key. The Gran Coupe also presents a state-of-the-art navigation system, two USB ports and Bluetooth interfaces. Standard technology includes remote engine start, keyless entry, soft-close automatic doors, head-up display, Sirius XM satellite radio, wireless charging and more. Convenience and class are also made clear in a panoramic sunroof, heated sports seats, heated armrest, heated steering wheel and Nappa leather on the dash. Drivers can also choose a 1,400-watt audio system, glass controls, multi-function seats, carbon-fiber trim and an Alcantara headliner. The 840i xDrive Gran Coupe — Bigger is better! A variant of the Gran Coupe and powered by a 3.0-liter Inline-6 gas engine with 8-speed automatic transmission, the 840i xDrive, like all BMWs with xDrive in their model names, has available all-wheel drive. Larger when compared to an 8 Series Coupe, the new Gran Coupe has an extra 7.9 inches in its wheelbase. With 335 hp, the turbocharged 3 Liter 24v Inline 6 gasoline engine accelerates this 840i xDrive Gran Coupe to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 155 mph. It is an example of pure luxury and a performance that is second to none. With refined handling, even torque distribution and superior traction in all conditions, this four-door sedan is among the biggest and heaviest 8 Series models at 9.0 inches longer, 1.2 inches wider and 2.2 inches taller than the two-door coupe on a wheelbase that is 7.9 inches longer. Its styling is new from the less steeply raked windshield and back and a sleek roofline that blends a trunk lid with an upturned spoiler lip. The 840i xDrive Gran Coupe mirrors much of the sensuality exhibited by the two-door’s body shape and surfaces, opting for practicality in its larger size and four doors. This vehicle’s one-piece kidney grille is flanked by LED headlights with aggressive bumper openings. A heavily sculpted rear end features wide LED taillights. Other features include a panoramic glass moonroof which stretches from the windshield to the back window. Inside, the cabin is familiar from the coupe model, yet roomier, thanks to added width and height. Due to the added wheelbase, rear-seat accommodations are comfortable as is head and leg room. Front sport seats and Nappa leather dashboard and door trim come standard, and there is a center console that extends to divide the rear seats but still allow for a center passenger when needed. Soft ambient lighting also comes standard. There is a 10.25-inch touchscreen on the dash, along with a BMW iDrive knob-and-button multimedia controller. A navigation system is also standard, along with a 12.3-inch configurable instrument display and head-up display. This vehicle also comes equipped with a full range of safety and driver assistance technology, with an optional Driver Assistance Professional Package that adds a blind sport and rear-cross traffic alert, a lane-departure warning, lane-keeping steering assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, parking assistance and a 360-degree camera system. |

Steering is also quicker in this mode as well. Lastly, its roof is a textile choice for this cruiser, although most spend their time with the roof down! It is easily raised or lower in mere seconds, and once lowered, the top is completely hidden below the rear deck. With its sleek lines and pop up headlights, this vehicle is a modern version of the original 8 series, an attention grabber and a head turner! It handles like a small car should with incredibly strong acceleration and all-wheel-drive as well as rear-wheel-drive. M8 Gran Coupe — a performance machine!

M8 Coupe Convertible — Race on! Tied directly to BMW’s racing effort, the M8 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8. It is rated at 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Both the M8 and M8 Competition versions are equipped with 8-speed Steptronic sequential shift automatic transmissions that can be manually operated through a console-mounted shift lever or steering wheel paddles. All M8 Coupe and Convertible models are equipped with BMW’s xDrive rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. In addition to a center transfer case that employs a multi-plate clutch to send power to the rear and front axles, the M8 also uses an electronically controlled active rear differential which splits the power between the two rear wheels as needed. Spectacular about the M8 Coupe Convertible is that it rides on an independent double-wishbone front and 5-link rear suspension that incorporates BMW’s Adaptive M Suspension that uses real-time input from body movement, road surface and steering to individually adjust each of the shocks. The car also has a variety of modes including Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus that separates calibrations for steering, suspension, stability control and throttle response. This vehicle is distinguished by larger openings in the front inlets to provide the additional cooling required by the engine, transmission and brakes. A kidney and side grille are finished in black chrome, with the mirror caps, rear spoiler and difuser in high gloss black. A multi-layer soft top can retract in 15 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. M8 Competition Coupe/Convertible — power under hood! In BMW’s new sporty high-performance vehicle and its top Competition trim, much power is found under hood — 625 hp to be exact! With a V8 engine and MTwinPower Turbo technology, as well as an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive-system, this vehicle is all power all the time! As a result, top-end performance is experienced each and every time you get behind the wheel! This is made clear in 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.2 seconds for the BMW M8 Competition Coupe and 3.3 seconds for the Convertible version and a top speed of 250 km/h or 305 km/h with the M Driver’s Package. This vehicle comes with an M-specific chassis with extremely rigid mounting and a new braking system. They also feature a “track” setting specifically designed for use on race circuits. The M8 Competition Coupe has a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic roof, while the Convertible has an electronically controlled soft-top. The look is fierce with extra vents to increase cooling, a black finish for the grilles and other trim pieces. Twenty-inch wheels are standard and wrapped in non-run-flat performance tires.
