Unveiled in 2019, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé G16 stretched the 8 Series wheelbase by 20 cm, transforming the sleek two-door coupé into an immensely practical four-door luxury grand tourer. Offering genuine rear legroom, a 4+1 seating layout and panoramic glass roof, it seamlessly combined sports-car aesthetics with everyday executive capability. Maintaining its impeccable touring poise calls for dedicated BMW 8 Series maintenance, focusing on running gear, transmission and cooling systems.
Engine offerings mirrored the coupé, featuring the efficient 840d xDrive (B57 diesel), the rear-wheel-drive or xDrive 840i (B58 petrol), and the formidable M850i xDrive with the 530 hp N63 V8. Power was routed through the ubiquitous ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox. The extended wheelbase and wide rear track were supported by adaptive M suspension, active steering and intelligent xDrive, demanding healthy suspension bushings and aligned tyres.
