A premium deal for a flagship cruiser
The BMW 8 Series has long represented the brand’s vision of a grand touring coupe—low-slung, elegant, and loaded with technology. Since its return to the lineup in 2019, the modern 8 Series has carved out its niche as both a statement car and a daily driver, offering long-distance comfort alongside the kind of handling expected from a BMW. It’s available in coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe body styles, each bringing a mix of performance and luxury that rivals the Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7.
BMW’s latest updates to the 8 Series keep it looking sharp, and this August, lease offers sweeten the appeal for buyers considering a high-end coupe or four-door GT.
August lease offers make the 8 Series more tempting
This month, BMW is offering a lease on the 2026 840i Coupe for $1,079 per month for 39 months with $8,779 due at signing. For those who want all-wheel drive, the 840i xDrive Coupe comes in at $1,109 per month for 39 months with $9,149 due at signing.
Shoppers looking for a four-door variant can opt for the 840i Gran Coupe, which carries the same lease terms as the coupe: $1,079 per month with a $8,779 signing fee. The 840i xDrive Gran Coupe sits at $1,109 per month with $9,149 due at signing.
BMW is also offering a Loyalty Credit of up to $2,500 for qualified buyers, which can help ease the cost of stepping into the brand’s flagship coupe. Taxes, title, and registration are extra, but with waived security deposits, the offers remain competitive among full-size luxury GT cars.
Luxury and performance in equal measure
The 2026 8 Series continues to deliver on its promise of luxury performance. The standard 840i models are powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine with 335 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That’s enough to push the coupe from 0–60 mph in under five seconds, while still returning respectable fuel economy for its class. The available xDrive system adds confidence in all weather without sacrificing too much of the rear-wheel-drive model’s agile feel.
Inside, the cabin lives up to the 8 Series’ flagship status. High-quality leather, available glass controls, and ambient lighting set the tone, while a curved display running BMW’s latest iDrive system anchors the tech side. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and driver-assistance features like lane departure warning, blind-spot detection, and adaptive cruise control round out the package.
Why the 8 Series still stands out in 2026
The luxury GT space is competitive, but the 8 Series continues to strike a balance between sporty design and everyday usability. Unlike some rivals that prioritize flash over comfort, the 8 Series feels equally at home carving highways as it does pulling up to a formal event. The Gran Coupe variant, with its extra rear-seat space and four-door layout, makes a strong case as a practical daily driver with the same head-turning style as the coupe.
Final thoughts
The BMW 8 Series has always been a car for those who want a little more theater with their luxury. With August’s lease offers, it’s a little easier to justify adding one to the garage. For shoppers who want something sleek, powerful, and comfortable—without stepping into full-size sedan territory—the 8 Series makes a strong case, and this month’s deals might be the right time to take the plunge.
