A flagship grand tourer with fresh deals
Few cars in BMW’s lineup combine elegance and power as seamlessly as the 8 Series. With its sleek profile, high-end cabin, and a choice between coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe body styles, the 8 remains one of the brand’s most versatile flagships. Since its modern relaunch in 2019, it has carved out space as both a grand tourer for long-haul comfort and a performance machine capable of spirited drives.
For September, BMW is offering additional incentives with new lease deals across several 8 Series models, including both rear-wheel-drive and xDrive versions.
September lease offers make the 8 Series more tempting
The 2026 BMW 840i Coupe starts at $1,079 per month for 39 months with $8,779 due at signing, while the 840i xDrive Coupe is offered at $1,109 per month with $9,149 due at signing. Shoppers who want more power can step up to the M850i xDrive Coupe, which leases for $1,259 per month with $10,139 due at signing.

Those preferring the four-door layout will find the 840i Gran Coupe carries the same $1,079 monthly rate and $8,779 signing fee as the coupe, while the xDrive version matches the coupe’s $1,109 per month and $9,149 at signing. At the top of the Gran Coupe lineup, the M850i xDrive comes in at $1,259 per month, with a down payment of $10,239 due at signing.
Across all trims, BMW is offering a Loyalty Credit of up to $2,500 for qualified buyers. With waived security deposits, the offers remain competitive in the full-size luxury GT segment, though taxes, title, and registration still apply.

Blending power with refinement
The 2026 8 Series doesn’t just look the part—it delivers the performance to back it up. The standard 840i models use a 335-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, capable of sprinting from 0–60 mph in under five seconds. Buyers who step up to the M850i xDrive unlock a 523-horsepower twin-turbo V8 that transforms the car into a serious grand touring powerhouse.

Inside, the cabin underscores the 8 Series’s flagship status with premium leather, available glass controls, and a curved digital display powered by BMW’s latest iDrive software. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, alongside a suite of driver-assistance features including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring.
Why the 8 Series still makes sense in 2025

Competition in the luxury GT segment is fierce, but the 8 Series continues to stand out by combining dramatic styling with real-world comfort. The coupe has the proportions of a classic grand tourer, while the Gran Coupe offers added practicality with rear seats and four-door convenience. Both manage to feel just as comfortable on a long highway cruise as they do pulling up to a black-tie event.
Final thoughts
The BMW 8 Series is a car for buyers who want their luxury with a bit of theater. For September, BMW’s lease offers make it easier to bring one home—whether you’re drawn to the balanced inline-six or the thunderous V8. If a sleek, versatile grand tourer is on your shortlist, these deals could make now the right time to step into BMW’s flagship coupe.
