Like the idea of the new BMW 8-series, but expecting to be carrying rear-seat passengers with relative frequency? Allow us to present your ideal car.

It’s the four-door ‘Gran Coupe’ version of the two-door 8-series that was released a few weeks ago, in range-topping M850i trim. The footprint of the car should be the same, it’s just that there’s an extra pair of doors squeezed in, and it has a raised roofline to make life for the rear-most occupants a little more pleasant.

Would you prefer coupe looks, or four-door practicality?
Would you prefer coupe looks, or four-door practicality?

Weight should be similar to the two-door version, and the 523bhp and 553lb ft 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 won’t have changed. With that in mind, you should still be able to go from 0-62mph in a moderately absurd 3.7 seconds. Praise be for modern all-wheel drive systems.

Expect it to debut in 2019, and be priced similarly to the coupe. That means £76,270 for the entry-level 840d diesel and £100,045 for the full-fat M850i.

The question is, would you go for the two-door, or the four?

Because 4 doors are too mainstream “The question is, would you go for the two-door, or the four?”

BMW Worker who loves classic BMWs: We should bring the 8-series back
Execs: You know what, actually, that’s a pretty good idea!
Worker: Great!
Execs: We can make a 4-door version of it too!
Worker: Wait…

This is FAR more appealing than the Mercedes AMG 4-door GT thingy imo.

I’m sorry but those BMW Gran Coupe, BMW GT and Audi A7 (actually all Audis’) don’t make sense to me and are pretty ugly compared to the 2 door or Sedan they are based on.

That’s personal preference. IMO all 4 door coupes look much better than their sedan brothers
