Used BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe for sale

BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé Engine Information

As you’d expect from such a high-profile marque, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe prioritises performance, offering a wide range of engines under the bonnet. From the six-cylinder petrol engine of the entry-level 840i which delivers 0-62 mph in just 5.2 seconds to the 850d which offers four-wheel-drive and fuel economy of up to 45.6 mpg, you won’t be disappointed.

Newer models also come with BMW’s TwinTurbo engines, with the 840i M Sport Gran Coupe offering a Turbo 6-cylinder petrol engine and the BMW M850i xDrive powered by an 8-cylinder Turbo.

BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé Practicality and Running Costs

Spacious, well-organised and with plenty of leg and headroom for all passengers, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is perfect for both long and short distances. The rear seats can also be folded in a 40:20:40 configuration using handy levers, offering a fairly flat loading bay big enough to fit around five suitcases. This car is therefore ideal for airport runs and weekend adventures with the whole family.

As with all cars, running costs depend on the model. The 840i petrol engine is efficient to run offering 34.4 mpg. It’s as frugal as other cars such as the BMW 2 Series M240i Coupe which boasts the same engine. If you opt for the M850i, however, you shouldn’t be surprised by its top-rung tax which is based on CO2 emissions.

Don’t hesitate to speak to us for more information about the running costs of your preferred vehicle. We can give you a full breakdown.

There are certain things to look out for in a used BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe. These include:

Steering racks, manual gearboxes and clutches

There should be no knocking or creaking in the steering, the gears should change smoothly and the clutch shouldn’t feel overly spongy or stiff. The car should not jolt forward, so look out for signs of trouble during a test drive.

Locks, windows and general controls

Check to see if the controls are working properly. Always open and close the windows, trial the locking system and play around with the sat-nav and infotainment.

Tyres (Run Flats)

Check that the car is fitted with Run Flat tyres. These will help you drive slowly to safety should a puncture occur. You should also check that the tyre tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre as this is what’s needed by law.

Accidental damage

Accidental damage can and does happen, so always give the car of your choice a thorough inspection before driving it off the forecourt.
