A new model series, the BMW 2 Series Coupe (combined fuel consumption: 8.1–4.2 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 189–111 g/km), is making its debut in the BMW range. It replaces the highly successful BMW 1 Series Coupe (fuel consumption combined: 8.0–3.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 188–99 g/km), more than 150,000 of which were built and sold to customers around the world in the course of its lifetime. With its different design and substantially larger dimensions, its focus on sporty engines and a sporty chassis set-up, and with more extensive specification that includes automatic climate control as standard equipment, the BMW 2 Series Coupe is clearly differentiated from the BMW 1 Series. The new models are four-seater rear-wheel drive compact models embodying characteristic BMW Coupe themes, including the typical two-door body.

Dynamic driving experience.

Typical BMW dynamics and handling characteristics are provided by a chassis with double-joint spring-strut front axle, five-link rear axle and rear-wheel drive. The wider track, low centre of gravity and near-ideal 50:50 axle load distribution achieve the balance between sporty agility and driving comfort which customers have come to expect of a BMW.

An extensive range of engines incorporating BMW Twin Power Turbo technology will be available right from the launch of this model series. The BMW 220i Coupe (fuel consumption urban/extra-urban/combined: 8.3/4.8/6.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 142 g/km) is the first compact BMW model to be equipped with the 135 kW/184 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine. The line-up also includes high-torque BMW four-cylinder diesel engines, comprising a 105 kW/143 hp unit in the BMW 218d Coupe (fuel consumption urban/extra-urban/combined: 5.3/3.8/4.3 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 114 g/km), a 135 kW/184 hp unit in the BMW 220d Coupe (fuel consumption urban/extra-urban/combined: 5.6/3.9/4.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 125 g/km) and a powerful 160 kW/218 hp unit in the BMW 225d Coupe (fuel consumption urban/extra-urban/combined: 5.6/4.2/4.7 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 124 g/km).

Available right from the launch date, the top-of-the-line BMW M235i Coupe (fuel consumption urban/extra-urban/combined: 10.9/6.4/8.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 189 g/km) is a high-performance BMW M Performance model whose 240 kW/326 hp three-liter six-in-line petrol engine with M Performance Twin Power technology offers impressive power reserves. This model also features M-specific chassis tuning and an aerodynamically optimized body.
