Having a grand touring coupe or convertible at your disposal is a luxury few can justify, but perhaps the four-door version of BMW's 8-series—the 2021 8-series Gran Coupe—is practical enough to rationalize buying it. In comparison to the 8-series coupe and convertible (reviewed separately), the Gran Coupe offers a far more usable rear seat, and with those seats folded flat the four-door has the two-doors beat on cargo-carrying ability. The base 840i comes with a silky-smooth turbocharged inline-six engine and rear wheel drive; xDrive all-wheel-drive models are also available. Performance peaks with the M850i model, which houses a 523-hp twin-turbocharged V-8 under its hood; unfortunately that model also comes with a six-figure price tag. Whichever you choose, the 8-series Gran Coupe is a sleek and luxurious tourer with the added flexibility to help validate the expense.Model: 2021 BMW 8 Series
