BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Launched In India; Prices Start At ₹ 1.29 Crore
The 2020 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe has been launched in India, with prices starting at ₹ 1.29 crore (ex-showroom India). The four-door coupe is being offered in two variants - 840i Gran Coupe and 840i Gran Coupe M Sport Edition, and the latter is priced at ₹ 1.55 crore (ex-showroom India). Despite the nomenclature, the 8 Series is essentially a replacement for the 6 Series, and it's globally offered in Coupe, Convertible and the Gran Coupe body styles. India, however, only gets the 8 Series Gran Coupe and the performance-spec M8 Coupe, which has also gone on sale in India today, at ₹ 2.15 crore (ex-showroom India).
Globally, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe comes in four powertrain options - 840i, 840i xDrive, M850i xDrive, and 840d xDrive. However, India only gets the entry-level 840i version that is powered by a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder petrol engine that makes 333 bhp at 5,000-6,500 rpm and develops a peak torque of 500 Nm between 1,600-4,500 rpm. The motor comes mated to an 8-Speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels, propelling the car to go from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.2 seconds, before hitting the top speed of 250 kmph.

BMW M8 Coupe Launched In India; Priced At ₹ 2.15 Crore
BMW India has expanded its line-up with the launch of the new M8 Coupe priced at ₹ 2.15 crore (ex-showroom). The all-new 8 Series line-up is BMW India's new flagship offering and the M8 Coupe locks horns against the Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe in the segment. The BMW M8 and the 8 Series Gran Coupe will be sold digitally via the company's Contactless Experience online retail platform, while the automaker's dealerships slowly resume operations as lockdown restrictions are eased in several parts. The company has launched only the M8 Coupe in India. BMW also has convertible and Gran Coupe variants of the M8 in other markets. There's also the more powerful Competition version available in all three body styles, which has an extra 25 bhp of power. But we are not getting that either.
The new BMW M8 Coupe distinguishes itself from the 8 Series Gran Coupe with the M treatment. The two-door model gets the swept-back headlamps, sculpted bonnet with muscular character lines, wide kidney grille, and aerodynamic creases on the sides. The split taillights taking prominence at the rear, while the bumpers look aggressive and sport larger air intakes and sportier alloy wheels. The M8 Coupe uses carbon fibre in abundance, especially for the roof, while the flared Aluminium wings with M gills and M8 designation emphasise track width and wheel size. The model comes with a rear spoiler lip, M-spec rear diffuser and a double flow exhaust system with twin tailpipes.
