A BMW grand tourer with four doors and coupe soul

Drive an 8 Series Gran Coupe

The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe gives you a low, sloping coupe silhouette with four doors and room for five. Nobody draws the short straw for the back seat.

The 8 Series Gran Coupe is BMW's flagship four-door coupe, and you get to choose its personality. Depending on the trim, you'll drive a turbo inline-six or a twin-turbo V8, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Start with BMW car rental on Turo to find the version that fits your trip.

On Turo, you book your 8 Series Gran Coupe from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. BMW wrapped up 8 Series production in April 2026, so final-year cars are scarce new. Renting one puts you behind the wheel without the hunt.

Inline-six or V8 power, your call

You pick the power: a turbo inline-six or a twin-turbo V8. The 840i runs a 3.0L turbo inline-six with an eight-speed automatic, making 335 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque. The M850i xDrive steps up to a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 with 523 hp and 553 lb-ft.

Room for five, plus luggage

The Gran Coupe is the 8 Series built for passengers, with five seats and a longer wheelbase than its two-door sibling. Its 119.0-in wheelbase stretches nearly eight inches past the coupe's 111.1 in. Rear passengers get 36.6 in of legroom, so adults can ride along for more than a quick spin around the block.

That's a real difference across the lineup — the coupe and convertible seat four, while the Gran Coupe seats five. Out back, 15.5 cu ft of cargo space gives you room for bags on a weekend getaway. It's the 8 Series you can share with friends, and their luggage comes along, too.

Rear- or all-wheel drive

Your 8 Series Gran Coupe comes with rear- or all-wheel drive, depending on the trim. The 840i sends power to the rear wheels, while the 840i xDrive and M850i xDrive use all-wheel drive. Check the listing's trim before you book so you know which setup you're getting.

Fuel matters on a longer drive, too. The 840i returns 21 city and 29 highway mpg, and it carries an 18-gal tank. Do the math before you leave and map out gas stops ahead of time — more of your trip goes to the drive itself.

Stand out with an 8 Series Gran Coupe

The 8 Series Gran Coupe shines for executive travel, weddings and special occasions, and scenic weekend drives. Pull up to a client meeting in BMW's flagship four-door, or arrive at a celebration with room for four passengers. When you want more standout options, browse exotic and luxury car rental on Turo.

Top 8 Series Gran Coupe features

A storied nameplate

Three things set the 8 Series Gran Coupe apart: a storied nameplate, a farewell edition, and final-year exclusivity.

The 8 Series name carries more than three decades of BMW history. BMW built the original 8 Series, known as the E31, between 1990 and 1999. After nearly two decades away, the nameplate returned in 2018 and ran through the 2026 model year.

The Gran Coupe made its North American debut in Monterey, California, in 2018, bringing four doors to the revived lineup. When you book one, you're driving the final chapter of a name that spans two eras of BMW design.

A farewell edition

BMW sent the 8 Series off with the 2026 M850i Edition M Heritage, limited to 500 units. BMW offers it only on the M850i xDrive Gran Coupe, so the four-door got the last word. Each one wears one of five colors from the original E31 8 Series, plus a carbon fiber roof with M stripes.

With only 500 built, an Edition M Heritage on Turo would be a rare find. Standard trims still give you BMW's flagship four-door coupe, with the same sloping roofline and room for five. Check each listing's year and trim to see exactly what you're booking.

Final-year exclusivity

The 2026 model year is the last for the 8 Series Gran Coupe. BMW built the final 8 Series cars by the end of April 2026, and there's no direct successor. Every final-year Gran Coupe closes the book on BMW's flagship four-door coupe.

Final-year cars are already scarce new, and that won't change. Renting one on Turo lets you experience the 8 Series while it's still within reach. Book it for a business trip, a milestone weekend, or simply to see what BMW's last flagship coupe feels like from the driver's seat.

Top tips and things to know before renting a 8 Series Gran Coupe

Get to know your 8 Series Gran Coupe

A little prep goes a long way: confirm the trim, learn the car's quirks, and understand what shapes the price.

Start with the listing — check the year, trim, and drivetrain before you book. The 8 Series Gran Coupe comes as the 840i, 840i xDrive, or M850i xDrive. The 840i trims use the inline-six, the M850i xDrive gets the V8, and only the 840i without xDrive is rear-wheel drive.

8 Series Gran Coupe driving tips

A few simple habits make your 8 Series Gran Coupe trip smoother, starting with booking early.

Book early, since production has ended and final-year cars are scarce.

Plan your route ahead of time, including gas stops and parking.

Fill up with premium unleaded, which both the inline-six and the V8 call for.

Adjust the seats and mirrors, and learn the controls before you pull away.

Take steep driveways and tall curbs slowly, since ground clearance is just 4.8 in.

How much does it cost to rent an 8 Series Gran Coupe?

The cost to rent an 8 Series Gran Coupe depends on the model year, trim, trip length, extras, and delivery. Each listing shows its own pricing, so compare a few before you book. You can save 10% on non-refundable trips booked four or more days ahead.

Longer trips can unlock duration discounts at three days, one week, and one month. Trips of 30 days or longer have no trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Learn more about long-term car rental on Turo.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
