Lower, Sharper Styling

BMWhas newly established the "2 Series" as its compact two-door FR model, succeeding the "1 Series Coupe." Images were released today. Following the recently announced "5 Series" and the "6 Series", and the "3 Series", this follows BMW's recent naming convention where coupe models are assigned even numbers, creating a clear distinction.

The announced variations include the highly sporty "M235i," along with the "220i," "225d," "220d," and "218d," totaling five models. Compared to the 1 Series, the styling is lower and wider, with a sharper, more aggressive face featuring redesigned kidney grilles and headlights.


Body dimensions are 4,432mm long, 1,774mm wide, and 1,418mm high. This makes it 72mm longer, 32mm wider, and 5mm lower than the previous 1 Series Coupe. The wheelbase has also been extended by 30mm to 2,690mm.

World Premiere in January

The top-tier "M235i" is equipped with a 2,979cc inline six-cylinder twin-turbo engine, producing a maximum output of 240kW (326ps) at 5,800–6,000rpm and peak torque of 450Nm at 1,300–4,500rpm. It is paired with either an 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission, achieving 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds for the automatic and 5.0 seconds for the manual.

The interior is largely similar to the 1 Series. It features four seats, with an additional 19mm of headroom and 21mm of rear legroom. The trunk capacity is 390 liters, 20 liters larger than the 1 Series Coupe. The drag coefficient (Cd) is 0.29.


The world premiere is expected to take place at the Detroit Motor Show in January next year. Following this 2 Series Coupe, a convertible version is also planned for release.
