8 Series does have a four-door version. Other versions include the two-door hardtop model and the two-door convertible model. The four-door version features induction-type door handles on all four doors. When approaching the car with the remote key, all four doors can be opened directly, making it more convenient for elderly passengers or VIP clients to board. More details about the BMW 8 Series are as follows: 1. The BMW 8 Series is a coupe under the BMW brand. The four-door version measures 5088 mm in length, 1932 mm in width, and 1410 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3023 mm. 2. The entire series is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The maximum power is achieved at 5000 to 6500 rpm, while the maximum torque is available between 1600 and 4500 rpm.

Last month when I accompanied my friend to test drive at a 4S store, I specifically studied the 8 Series lineup. Currently, there is indeed a four-door version available, officially called the 8 Series Gran Coupe. The actual car is 23 centimeters longer than the coupe version, and the rear seats can comfortably accommodate adults who are 1.8 meters tall. Its hatchback tailgate is particularly practical, capable of fitting three 28-inch suitcases. The chassis tuning is just as sporty as the coupe version, but the suspension is noticeably more flexible when going over speed bumps. The salesperson mentioned that the four-door version accounts for 70% of the 8 Series sales, indicating that domestic car owners still prefer models that balance practicality and performance.

Last week, I was chatting with fellow car club members about luxury coupes, and one of them had just picked up the 8 Series Gran Coupe. What impressed me most was its side profile—the rear doors feature hidden handles, making it look like a frameless door design at first glance. The four-seat layout gives the car a more balanced weight distribution, and engineers specifically adjusted the rear-wheel steering angle. One practical detail: despite the sloping roofline, the headliner is recessed, leaving about four fingers of headroom for someone like me who’s 180cm tall in the back seat.

When studying BMW's product lineup, it was noted that the 8 Series Gran Coupe was only introduced in 2019. The chassis is produced on the same assembly line as the 7 Series at the Dingolfing plant, but incorporates more aluminum to reduce weight. The four-door version has a wheelbase of 3023mm, which is 201mm longer than the coupe version. The cabin retains the classic three-section center console, but adds independent rear air conditioning controls. The active roll stabilization system comes as standard, and the rear wheels automatically steer during high-speed cornering.

When a customer traded in a 7 Series for an 8 Series Gran Coupe, I compared their actual performance. The four-door version comes standard with air suspension and 20-inch wheels, which is more generous than the Panamera. The body's torsional rigidity has been increased by 15%, which is crucial for a frameless-door model. The actual measured trunk capacity is 490L, making it easy to fit a golf bag. The B58 inline-six engine's sound has been specially tuned, delivering a particularly deep and rich tone when starting in the garage.

Last year at the Guangzhou Auto Show, I studied this car. The four-door version offers a rear knee room of 86mm. The central tunnel hump is quite pronounced, but it doesn't hinder leg extension. All variants come standard with all-wheel drive and integral active steering, providing noticeably better stability on slippery surfaces compared to the coupe version. The front sports seats feature electric lumbar support adjustment, firmly securing the body during spirited driving. also developed exclusive paint for it, with Barcelona Blue looking particularly stunning in sunlight.
