The 2 Series; A Punchy Small Coupe

BMW’s serious-looking 2 Series is a step in the direction of thrilling danger, away from the 1 Series. Rear-wheel drive and still a compact car, the 2 Series offers engines familiar to small BMW drivers, with focus on turbocharge and most of the UK models fitted with three- or four-cylinder engines. Recent updates to the 2 Series include sharper styling on the exterior, plus new tech kit including standard LED headlights and improved connectivity options.

Small Coupe Design

The BMW 2 Series could arguably be said to be the older brother of the 1 Series. Adding more muscular tone into the bodywork and a keener eye around the headlights, the 2 has an air of eager independence about its looks. The cabin offers a sense of belonging to seasoned BMW drivers, also adding in some helpful upgrades. The dash mirrors that of the 1 Series, and comes with a newly designed instrument cluster and better quality materials than in earlier models. Adjustability of the steering wheel and seats offers helpful adaptability, and there is space for four people inside. Each model is given an iDrive controller and sat-nav on a 6.5” display.

Varied Number of Trim Levels

Drivers choose their weapon from a selection of four: the SE, Sport, M Sport, and mighty M240i.

SE: a very generous starting base from BMW, the 2 Series SE is bestowed with 17” alloy wheels, air conditioning, an iDrive infotainment system and sat-nav on a 6.5” screen, DAB radio, bluetooth, LED headlights, parking sensors in the rear and automatic lights and wipers.

Sport: there’s something harder about the Sport, with its juiced-up styling inside and out. Details include an alternative 17” alloy wheel design, ambient lighting, and sport-styled steering wheel and sports seats.

M Sport: the M of M Sport comes with added 18” alloy wheels, a dedicated M Sport braking system, sports suspension, an upgraded sound system, and trim in half-cloth, half-leather.

M240i: taking all that is great about the 2 Series and adding on a boosted performance, the M240i delivers a 335bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol engine on top.

A Fun to Drive, Great Handling Car

The standard line-up on the 2 Series includes engines of 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 litres, with three, four, and six cylinders. There’s also a 2.0-litre diesel. All are turbocharged, and come with a manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox. The steering and handling of the 2 Series ranks amongst the best of its class, delivering accuracy and a snappy response.

Standard engine size: 2.0-litre diesel
0-62mph: 8.50 seconds
MPG: 61.4
