The 2023 model year is recall free, as is the 2022 range; 2021 model year cars have been recalled for issues with the reverse camera, a disassembled battery connection, and brake assist/ABS.
Still, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe scores well in terms of quality and reliability, with J.D. Power rating it at 81/100. BMW will cover the 8 Series Gran Coupe with a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and a drivetrain warranty for the same distance or period.
