202 BMW has been adding its fancy new giant screens, which it calls ‘Curved Display’, to the interiors of its vehicles at a startling pace. After the 2024MY 3-Series and M3, the 2 Series also gets the piece of technology, despite debuting less than a year ago. BMW now shows the updated 2 Series, which comes with a massive screen that combines both the instrument cluster and the infotainment screen into a single unit running BMW’s latest infotainment software, iDrive 8. Although they look like a single screen, the system is actually made up of two displays that are 12.3-inches across behind the steering wheel and 14.9-inches between the front seat passengers. Although the instrument cluster is the same size as it was in the system shown when the vehicle was launched in the summer of 2021, the infotainment side of the unit was previously much smaller at 10.25 inches.For the second year of its second generation, the 2 Series premium subcompact sport coupe mostly stays the course. BMW is preparing for the 2024 M2 that is set to begin production at the end of 2023. For now, you can get the fun-to-drive luxury two-door in two trim levels, each with different power- and drivetrains. In Europe, the least expensive models could also previously be equipped with a bargain-basement infotainment system that featured a 5.1-inch instrument display and an 8.8-inch infotainment screen. That option can no longer be found on the German configurator.
The 218i and 220i are both powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that makes 154 hp (115kW/156 PS) in the former and 181 hp (135 kW/183 PS) in the latter. There’s also a 188 hp (140kW/190 PS) diesel 220d and a 241 hp (180kW / 240 PS) 230i, both sporting a 2.0-liter turbo four. The M240i, meanwhile, is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six that makes 382 hp (285 kW/387 PS).The 2023 BMW 2 Series debuted in July 2022, to mixed reception, at least in regards to its styling. The new design divided opinions but the performance should be more than acceptable.The fun-size BMW 2-series is an entry-level luxury car with big thrust. Sold as a coupe only, the 230i and M240i have vastly different power levels, but are both offered with either rear- or all-wheel-drive. The 230i employs a turbocharged 255-hp inline-four that it shares with the Toyota Supra 2.0 and a host of other BMW products. The M240i comes with the far more entertaining turbocharged 382-hp inline-six engine. Sadly, no manual transmission is offered. Still, BMW’s smallest car’s recent redesign has wrought a deceptively quick ride, with solid braking and a chassis that loves the twisties. Although it’s grown in size, its rear seat space is smaller than before. However, the most important aspect of the 2-series remains true in this generation: it rewards spirited driving at a reasonable price—particularly in four-cylinder, 230i form. There is a more rear-passenger-friendly four-door wearing a 2-series badge: it’s known as the Gran Coupe but it’s built on a completely different front-drive platform that has yet to win us over. We review that model separately.The 2 Series is the smallest car that BMW sells in North America, and one of its least expensive. As coupes fall out of favor for sedans and crossovers, the 2 Series remains a two-door holdout whether in hardtop or convertible body style—other than the four-door 2 Series Gran Coupe. With BMW’s classic front-engine, rear-drive (or available all-wheel drive) setup, the 2 Series is celebrated by driving enthusiasts.Its roots trace back to the 1 Series, which was introduced in 2004. That coupe model, chassis designation E87, that debuted for 2008 was meant to be an homage to iconic BMWs like the 2002 by celebrating simplicity and driver involvement on a front-engine, rear-drive layout. For 2014, the 2 Series was announced as a replacement for the 1 Series; BMW continued to sell a smaller 1 Series in different body styles in overseas markets. The change was essentially in name only, as the new 2 Series, known internally as F22, maintained the same general form factor and layout as the 1 Series. Turbocharged I-4 and I-6 engines were offered, either powering the rear wheels or available all-wheel drive. Although a six-speed manual transmission was available, the automatic was more commonly chosen. In 2015, the roofless 2 Series Convertible debuted.Although the 1 Series had been offered in limited-production 1 Series M specification—leaving respect in nomenclature for the legendary mid-engine M1—the introduction of the M2 in 2016 reminded enthusiasts that BMW wasn’t entirely focused on building crossovers. The M2 was a driver’s delight, packing a turbocharged I-6 engine, rear-wheel drive, and numerous chassis enhancements around a manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission. In 2019 the sharpened M2 Competition became standard fare, before the model run was capped off in 2020 by the ultra-focused, ultra-exclusive M2 CS.The G42 generation 2 Series launched for the model year 2023. Although it kept its classic layout and relatively small proportions, the increase in size and luxury were indications of BMW’s corporate direction. Powertrain choices remained similar, although only an automatic transmission was offered. A convertible may eventually be offered, as well as potential hybridized or even all-electric variants. When is a 2 Series not a 2 Series? When it’s the 2 Series Gran Coupe. BMW decided to name two entirely different cars the same thing. There’s the rear-drive-based 2 Series coupe, and the front-drive-based 2 Series Gran Coupe. The second 2 Series was introduced for 2020, and is very much not a coupe on account of its four doors. Confused yet? What’s similar between the two 2s is that they both occupy a similar entry-level bracket in BMW’s lineup. Even if their pricing and small size are relatively similar, not much else besides the name is shared between the 2 Series and 2 Series Gran Coupe.All 2024 BMW 2 Series Coupe models are equipped with the 8-Speed Sport Automatic Transmission, standard paddle shifters, and an all-new rocker switch for easy gear selection.BMW TwinPower Turbo engine technology provides awe-inspiring power to the 2 Coupe – with up to 382 horsepower in the M240i models, reducing 0-60 mph time to a mere 4.1 seconds. The 230i features a 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and the M240i has a 382-hp turbo 3.0-liter inline-six. The 230i and M240i are both offered with rear- and all-wheel drive. An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission choice. During our test of the 230i, it reached 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and a quarter-mile in 13.7 seconds at 101 mph. Those looking to squeeze the most performance out of the 230i will want to choose the M Sport and Dynamic Handling packages that together include 19-inch wheels on performance tires, a sportier suspension, upgraded brakes, and a variable-ratio steering system, and an electronically controlled rear differential. Most of these goodies and more come standard on the M240i. When we tested that model we were impressed by its ability to lunge off the line (60 mph in 3.6 seconds) and its refined ride-and-handing. But like many of the latest Bimmers, we wish it had better steering feedback.The rear-drive, four-cylinder 230i is rated at 26 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The all-wheel-drive, six-cylinder M240i is rated at 23 mpg city and 32 on the highway. During our 75-mph fuel-economy test, the rear-drive 230i achieved 38 mpg, beating its EPA estimate.
Although BMW’s interior design language isn’t groundbreaking, it is enhanced by the excellent build quality and satisfying ergonomics. Inside, the new 2-series adopts the company’s ubiquitous styling and layout. While a set of analog gauges are standard, a fully digital instrument panel that measures 12.3 inches and a head-up display are available. We only wish the front seats felt more supportive. Also, despite an increase in overall length and width, including a wheelbase that’s stretched by 2.0 inches, the coupe’s back seat has less headroom and legroom than the model it replaces.Classic BMW performance, advanced technology, and style to spare: the 2023 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has it all. Start shopping for yours today, or contact your local BMW Center to experience one in person.The 2023 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is available in three distinct model variants.

The 228i xDrive Gran Coupe has the same engine, but adds BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system as standard.
