I drove a $101,000 BMW 840i Grand Coupe to find out if this luxury 4-door is the best bimmer money can buy — here's the verdict

The entire BMW 8-Series line had been missing in action for quite some time; the original car ended production before the turn of the century. So enthusiasts' hearts leapt worldwide when a few years back BMW announced that the 8-Series was back.

The M850i was $126,000, but it came with a twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, 523 horsepower with 553 pound-feet of juicy torque, under the hood. The cheaper Gran Coupe packed a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six, cranking out 335 horsepower with 368 pound-feet of torque. This has been my experience with both Jaguars and Porsches. And now I note the preference, somewhat, in the 8-Series.You might wonder why a four-door has been labeled a coupé by the thrillmeisters at Bayerische Motoren Werke. Many of the old-school do. A coupé used to be a two-door, and some 8-Series cars are that. But in the case of the Gran Coupe, the reference is to styling: the sloping fastback roofline distinguishes the 840i from the 740i, a proper sedan.

But otherwise, the $88,000 base was pretty well-appointed, with everything from ventilated disc brakes to a tasty Harman Kardon premium audio system, as well as the latest generation of BMW's iDrive infotainment system, featuring a 10.25-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless device charging is onboard, as is a suite of connectivity features.
