Highlights of the BMW 2 Series Coupé

BMW revealed the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2021.  The new model will be built at the BMW Group’s San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico.  The company said the market launch will be in early 2022.

New BMW 2 Series Coupé is a modern take on the traditional concept of a compact, performance-focused two-door model that dates back to the BMW 02. Standalone design with maximum differentiation from the compact BMW 1 Series models.  Launch line-up will be spearheaded by a high-performance model from BMW M GmbH: the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé (fuel consumption combined: 8.8 – 8.1 l/100 km [32.1 – 34.9 mpg imp] as per WLTP; CO2 emissions combined: 200 – 185 g/km as per WLTP) with a 275 kW/374 hp six-cylinder in-line petrol engine and intelligent all-wheel drive.

Vehicle height lowered by 28 millimeters, tracks widened by 54 millimeters at front (BMW M240i xDrive Coupé: +63 millimeters) and 31 millimeters at rear (BMW M240i xDrive Coupé: +35 millimeters).
