2021 BMW 2 Series Review

2 Series: 3 Models, 3 Decisions

The 2 Series line of vehicles provides you with an elegant selection to choose from. There are three different body styles to select from-the coupe, gran coupe, and M2 competition coupe. Each of these models allow for maximum performance under the hood and unparalleled interior convenience without missing a beat.

Although the body styles may differ with the 2 Series, the standard capabilities and output remain the same among the models. The 230i Coupe is a great choice for the driver who needs reliable transportation during their daily commute, while the 228i Gran Coupe might be better suited for those who seek spontaneous trips across the great state of Alabama.

The fuel economy, too, is worth bragging about. You can achieve an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city/32 MPG highway in the 230i Coupe, ideal for days you're gridlocked in the evening rush hour.* No matter your lifestyle, the 2 Series line has a fit.

The Inside Is Twice as Nice

Call it whatever you like, but we think love at first sight is applicable with the 2 Series. BMW doesn't cut corners once you're buckled in-and that's made clear with its comfortable cabin space. If you choose to go with the 230i Coupe, you'll have 40.1 inches of front headroom and 41.5 inches of front legroom. Tired muscles will be no more.

For those who consider themselves audiophiles, listen up. The available Harman Kardon® surround sound system is designed exclusively for the 2 Series, meaning your entertainment is about to reach new heights. The Apple CarPlay® compatibility acts as a wingman of sorts as you're cruising around the city. Make hands-free phone calls, choose your favorite album, or pull up navigation on a whim.

BMW Manages Your Safety

Alert, aware, and prepared, the 2 Series line is carefully constructed to keep your safety as its top priority. BMW's Active Driving Assistant comes standard in each of the three available styles, an advanced safety package which goes above and beyond in its capabilities.

One of the standard features included is the Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation, which will warn you in any event the car detects as a potential hazard. If needed, the brakes can automatically be applied. There's also the Lane Departure Warning, a feature which will monitor lane markings on roads and highways to prevent drifting.

The 230i Coupe, 228i Gran Coupe, and 230i Convertible additionally come packed with an array of other protective safety features, like:

• Rear-view Camera
• Programmable LED Daytime Running Lights
• LED fog lights

With BMW, you're given your own gaggle of security escorts.
