How the 2026 BMW 8 Series Compares With BMW Models

Pricing, power, seating, drivetrain, and fuel requirements help define the differences across BMW’s coupe lineup. The 2026 BMW 8 Series starts at $91,700, and MSRP excludes tax, title, registration and dealer fees.

Compared with the 2026 BMW M4, the 8 Series starts at $91,700 versus $81,300 and offers 335–523 hp versus 473–523 hp, with seating for 4–5 rather than 4 seats. The 8 Series suits shoppers seeking a larger grand-touring coupe range, while the M4 may appeal to buyers focused on its available performance output and lower starting MSRP; both offer rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

Compared with the 2026 BMW M2, the 8 Series starts at $91,700 versus $68,200 and offers 335–523 hp versus 473 hp. The M2 has rear-wheel drive, premium unleaded fuel required, and EPA fuel economy of 16 city / 23 hwy, while the 8 Series offers rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and includes a premium unleaded recommended configuration; each appeals to a different balance of performance, size, and drivetrain preference.

Compared with the 2026 BMW 4 Series, the 8 Series starts at $91,700 versus $52,600 and offers 335–523 hp versus 255–386 hp. Both seat 4–5 and offer rear-wheel drive, while the 4 Series may suit shoppers seeking a lower starting MSRP and the 8 Series may suit those looking for greater available power and all-wheel-drive availability.

Specifications and Configuration

The 2026 BMW 8 Series is a coupe with an automatic 8-speed transmission, a 111.1-inch wheelbase, and dimensions of 191.2 inches long, 74.9 inches wide, and 53 inches high. Width with mirrors is 84.1 inches, and curb weight ranges from 4,012 to 4,427 pounds.

Across the three trims, output ranges from 335 to 523 hp and torque from 369 to 553 lb-ft. Engine choices span a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder and a 4.4-liter V8, with 0–60 mph times ranging from 3.6 to 4.4 seconds. Fuel capacity is 18 gallons, while cargo space behind the rear seats measures 14.8 cubic feet.

The 840i uses rear-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, 335 hp, and 369 lb-ft of torque. The 840i xDrive keeps the same engine output and adds all-wheel drive, while the M850i xDrive uses a 4.4-liter V8 with 523 hp, 553 lb-ft, and all-wheel drive. Premium unleaded is recommended for the 840i and 840i xDrive and required for the M850i xDrive.
