The new BMW 2 Series Coupe. The new BMW 2 Series Convertible.

The BMW 2 Series Coupe and BMW 2 Series Convertible have raised the
bar in the premium compact class in terms of dynamic prowess,
aesthetic appeal and emotional richness. Scheduled for launch in July
2017, the new models promise to build on this successful concept. They
feature sharper front-end styling, LED headlights fitted as standard,
further interior upgrades and new connectivity services. And they also
offer unbeatable sports performance, courtesy of rear-wheel drive
(unique in the segment) working in tandem with efficient power
transfer systems. More than 140,000 units of the Leipzig-built models
have been delivered to customers so far. The biggest markets are the
USA, Great Britain and Germany.

New design elements and new LED lights add another layer to
the cars’ presence and elegance.

With the changing of the guard from outgoing model to new generation
comes a more eye-catching front end for the BMW 2 Series Coupe and
BMW 2 Series Convertible. Both models are now fitted as standard with
bi-LED headlights. The main headlights can also be specified in
adaptive full-LED form as an option, their prominent light graphic
strengthening the dynamic and technical impression created by the
front end. The familiar twin-circular-headlight look has a hexagonal
interpretation, inspiring an even more precise and modern appearance.
A larger kidney grille gives the front end of the new models a wider
look and allows it to project a sportier impression. The outer air
intakes in the three-section front end are now larger and emphasise
the cars’ powerful stance on the road. The rear end likewise cuts a
muscular figure, the single-piece rear lights (LEDs as standard) with
hallmark BMW L-shape extending well into the flanks.

Further upgrades for the interior and appointments.


The interior of the new BMW 2 Series models features an all-new
design for the instrument panel, which emphasises the focus on the
driver even more clearly and significantly enhances the cockpit’s
quality feel once again. The interior now has a more spacious, calmer
and clearer feel. The elegant design is accentuated by a host of
details, such as contrast stitching and high-gloss black surfacing for
the centre stack and the chrome elements for the control panels in the
doors. New cloth or leather seat upholstery variants, interior trim
strips in aluminium or fine wood and high-gloss black panels with
chrome accents provide even greater scope for individualisation.

New light-alloy wheels, new paint finishes, excellent practicality.


As well as the standard model, the Coupe and Convertible are
available in Luxury Line, Sport Line and M Sport variants, and the
line-up also includes a BMW M Performance representative – the BMW
M240i/M240i xDrive. Mediterranean Blue, Seaside Blue and Sunset Orange
have been added to the selection of exterior paint shades. And the
choice of light-alloy wheels has also been expanded – to 17 designs in
16-, 17- and 18-inch formats.

At 4,432 millimetres in length, the BMW 2 Series Coupe and BMW 2
Series Convertible condense their sporting prowess into a compact
package. And the four-seaters combine these dynamic talents with a
high level of everyday practicality. The Coupe has a boot capacity of
390 litres, while the Convertible’s electrically operated fabric
soft-top offers admirable acoustic comfort when closed thanks to
additional insulation. Plus, it can be opened while on the move – at
speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph).

Operating concept and connectivity.

The high-resolution 8.8-inch central display in the new BMW 2 Series
Coupe and BMW 2 Series Convertible now comes in touchscreen form if
the optional Navigation system Professional is specified. This
provides the driver with another way of operating various functions,
in addition to the latest generation of the iDrive operating system
(standard), the Touch Controller and the intelligent voice control system.

The new-generation models present the option of powering compatible
smartphones wirelessly by means of an inductive charging tray, and
Apple CarPlay can be accessed via a BMW navigation system. Meanwhile,
the in-car WiFi hotspot provides a high-speed mobile internet
connection for up to ten devices.

The standard SIM card integrated into the car enables optimum
connectivity and access to BMW services via BMW ConnectedDrive,
without the need for a linked smartphone. These include Real Time
Traffic Information (RTTI) with hazard preview, On-Street Parking
Information and access to the vehicle via Remote Services. The
all-encompassing BMW Connected concept seamlessly integrates the
BMW 2 Series into the user’s digital life. BMW is also the first
carmaker to offer Microsoft Office 365 users a secure server
connection for exchanging and editing emails, calendar entries and
contact details, thanks to the car’s built-in Microsoft Exchange function.

The list of assistance systems customers can specify includes Active
Cruise Control with Stop Go function. The Driving Assistant is
also available as an option and comprises the Lane Departure Warning
system and City Collision Mitigation, which applies the brakes
automatically at speeds up to 60 km/h (37 mph) in response to an
imminent collision with a car, motorcycle or pedestrian.

A meeting of dynamic excellence and remarkable efficiency.

An extensive line-up of three-, four- and six-cylinder engines is
available for the BMW 2 Series Coupe and BMW 2 Series Convertible,
producing outputs from 100 kW/136 hp to 250 kW/340 hp (fuel
consumption combined: 8.3 – 3.8 l/100 km [34.0 – 74.3 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 189 – 101 g/km)*. All the petrol and diesel
engines are from the latest BMW EfficientDynamics engine family and
feature BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. In addition to a basic concept
that is inherently more efficient, all the diesel engines feature new
turbocharger technology and enhanced common-rail direct injection
systems. There are nine drive options to choose from for the BMW 2
Series Coupe and eight for the BMW 2 Series Convertible. The various
model variants channel their power through either a six-speed manual
gearbox or an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The
efficient automatic comes as standard in the 220i, 230i, 225d and
M240i xDrive Coupe models and 225d and M240i xDrive Convertible. The
225d and M240i xDrive variants of both the Coupe and Convertible link
up as standard with the eight-speed Steptronic Sport version of the
automatic, which offers a steering wheel-mounted manual shift function.

The BMW M240i/M240i xDrive are the M Performance representatives of
the Coupe and Convertible line-ups. Their three-litre straight-six
engine with direct injection and M Performance TwinPower Turbo
technology develops 250 kW/340 hp, propelling the BMW M240i xDrive
Coupe, for instance, from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds (fuel
consumption combined: 7.4 l/100 km [38.2 mpg imp], CO2 emissions
combined: 169 g/km)*.

BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive.

The M240i and 220d variants of the BMW 2 Series Coupe can be ordered
either with the particularly engaging characteristics of rear-wheel
drive or BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. BMW 2 Series
Convertible customers can specify xDrive for the M240i. The xDrive
concept ensures optimum power transfer, enhances driving safety and
reduces understeer and oversteer through corners. Sophisticated
suspension technology, a low centre of gravity, a wide track and
almost perfect 50:50 weight distribution all play their part in the
BMW 2 Series’ outstanding dynamics and handling properties.
