Sporty driving dynamics, sharp acceleration, precision handling, superior interior comfort, and top-class tech — a used BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé is a smart choice for drivers who want luxurious practicality without compromising on performance.
Inspired by the globally successful 8 Series, the Gran Coupé is a relatively new addition to the BMW model line-up. Launched in 2019, the Gran Coupé offered a more spacious version of the 8 Series Coupé – a sporty model but with a longer wheelbase (by 201mm) than the 8 Series. That extra length, together with a higher roof line, means driver and passengers get increased head and leg room.
A bigger car means more room for passengers, and here’s where the appeal of a used BMW 8 Gran Coupé becomes clear. For those who want a car that can accommodate the family, and also carry it off in style, here it is – the Gran Coupé is a four-door model (the 8 Series Coupé just a two) with five seats, though that middle space in the rear bench is best suited for a child. The boot has a 440-litre capacity.
Generous spacing aside, the interior is classic BMW design – understated, and high-quality. Merino leather upholstery provides that plush feel, while multifunction seats — fitted for the driver and front seat passenger – allows you to adjust to find the perfect seating position, whether that’s when driving, or relaxing.
This being a BMW, the 8 Series Gran Coupé comes with the excellent iDrive infotainment system. The 10.3-inch high-resolution display can be controlled in a number of ways — by touching the screen, using the iDrive controller, by voice command, or even by gesture control.
BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant can help with route-planning, while the BMW Digital Key enables you to use your smartphone, if your device is compatible, to open your car. Unlock, lock, and start the car without using the actual key, and give authorisation to family members to do the same; no more sharing a solitary key.
