2023 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Trims & Specs

840i and 840i xDrive models are available with Driving Assistance Package, which is priced at only $100. Opting for this adds Parking Assistant Plus, active blind-spot detection, active park distance control, and a surround-view camera. A further upgrade to the Driving Assistance Professional package is priced at $,1700, but requires the $100 Driving Assistance bundle to be selected too. This adds all those goodies plus radar-based assistance systems in the form of Active Driving Assistant Pro and traffic jam assistant too. The $650 M Sport Professional package includes M Sport brakes, extended Shadowline trim, and Shadowline headlights. Standalone options include glass controls for $650, a Bowers & Wilkins sound system for $3,400, and integral active steering for $1,150.

The M850i xDrive can be equipped with the $1,550 Cooling and High Performance Tire package, which adds the M Sport Professional Package, unique 20-inch wheels, and increased capacity of the braking and drivetrain cooling systems. Individual options for the range-topper include an M Carbon roof for $2,800, rear seat heating for $350, the M Carbon Exterior Package for $4,100, and BMW M 50 Years emblems at $200.

At this level of motoring, we'd want a bit more than 335 hp, which is why we'd go for the top-end M850i xDrive. Not only is this car a pleasure to cruise with on the open road, but it can also surprise through the corners and will launch off the line like lightning. The exterior specifications of the M850i xDrive aren't that different from the standard 840i, but we appreciate its sleeper looks. Under the skin, this M car features uprated suspension, massive performance brakes, and an M Sport differential. The interior also features ventilated front seats. If we were buying, we'd add the Driving Assistance Professional Package and the Cooling and High-Performance tire package for a total cost of $106,050, excluding destination.
