The BMW 2 Series is an uncompromising, two-door luxury performance car replete with the latest technology. The model’s impressive driving dynamics coupled with a long list of available options makes it a compelling contender in its niche. In 228i form, the 2 Series is a nimble roadster, poised, balanced, and ready to bring a smile to your face every time the road turns twisty. The M235i variant takes the BMW recipe for success a step further, shoehorning BMW’s stout 3.0-liter V6 under its shapely hood and turning the 2 Series into a potent sports car.

Attractive Exterior

The 2 Series, in either of its trim levels and top configurations, is a very attractive car. Despite its compact size, it has a big presence, with a broad wheelbase and muscular, flowing lines. In 228i form, it rolls on 17-inch alloys and fog lights, while the M235i boasts 18-inch wheels, performance tires, and xenon headlights.

Potent Engine Options

The 2 Series comes standard with a stout turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes a solid 24 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. Opt for the M235i and the 3.0-liter V6 to have 320 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to achieve 60 miles an hour in a brief 4.5 seconds.

Safety and Technology

ABS, traction and stability controls, and airbags are standard. Options include a rear view camera, front collision mitigations, and lane departure warnings.

Available options, such as a convertible top, xDrive all-wheel drive, and performance upgrades allow owners to tune their 2 Series to their tastes.
