THE FIRST EVER BMW 2-SERIES GRAN COUPÉ

 

 

 

 

 

„The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is the embodiment of a new generation of compact BMW Coupes. With its dynamically stretched silhouette and high-quality details such as frameless doors, this model fits seamlessly into the premium appearance of higher-class BMW Coupes. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is elegant and sporty, sometimes even provocative but always with an exclusive appeal.” 

– Domagoj Dukec, Head of Design at BMW

 

The 2-Series Gran Coupe is an all-new model in the BMW lineup that rides on the same platform as the X1 and the X2 SUVs. It is the smallest member of a family of four-door BMW coupés, playing understudy to the 4 Series Gran Coupé, 6 Series Gran Turismo and the flagship 8 Series Gran Coupé.

Available as a 228hp 228i xDrive Gran Coupé and a 301hp M235i xDrive Gran Coupé:

BMW 228i xDrive

The BMW 228i xDrive model is powered by the 2.0-liter four-cylinder version of BMW’s B modular engine family, delivering an output of 228 hp @ 5,000 – 6,000 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,450 – 4,500 rpm. Torque is transferred through the standard 8-speed Sport automatic transmission and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system to the wheels. The 228i xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 210 km/h when the vehicle is equipped with all-season tires and 240 km/h when equipped with performance tires .

Starting at $42,500.00

BMW M235i xDrive

The BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupé ups the performance quotient by delivering 301 hp @ 5,000 – 6,250 rpm and 332 lb-ft of torque @ 1,750 – 4,500 rpm from a tuned version of the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder modular engine. A reinforced crankshaft featuring larger diameter main bearings, new pistons and modified connecting rods allow the engine to handle the higher levels of power. A larger turbocharger featuring a built-in exhaust manifold and integral diverter valve increases engine output. Modified fuel injectors are fitted to increase the flow volume. The capabilities of the cooling package is improved with an independent transmission oil cooler that is separated from the engine’s coolant circuit, an electric 850-watt fan, two remote coolant radiators in the wheel arches and an enlarged expansion tank, ensuring that the BMW M235i xDrive is able to display its performance capabilities even under the most demanding conditions. A new dual-branch exhaust system with minimal backpressure assists with expelling the exhaust gasses. The M235i xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds (4.7 seconds with the optional M Performance Package’s overboost function) and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h when equipped with performance non-runflat tires.

Starting at $50,900.00
