2022 BMW 2 Series

Price Range: $26,990 - $47,998

Great

The 2022 2 Series is one of the smallest luxury cars on the road today. That small size contributes to the 2 Series' nimble handling and quick acceleration. It's a fun car to drive. However, rear seat space and trunk space are poor. As long as you're OK with the trade-off, there's not another luxury car at this price that offers what you'll find with the BMW 2 Series.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

3/15/2022

With each generation, the BMW 3 Series sedan (and the related 4 Series coupe) has gotten bigger. The once entry-level Bimmer grew to the point that BMW had room to slot a new, more compact model beneath it. Enter the 2 Series, a rear-wheel-drive coupe about the size the 3 Series was 30 years ago. The 2 Series marked a return to form for the Bavarian automaker, offering exceptional performance in a just-right-sized package.

Things got confusing when BMW expanded the lineup with the 2 Series Gran Coupe, a front-wheel-drive hatchback sedan that shared practically nothing in common with the 2 Series coupe besides its name. Thankfully, BMW made the right choice in keeping the 2 Series coupe rear-wheel-drive for its second generation that debuts for 2022. Somewhat discouragingly, this new 2 Series also grows in size and weight, though there's more available power to provide some consolation.

The 2022 BMW 2 Series coupe — the convertible has been discontinued — is available in two trim levels at launch: 230i and M240i xDrive. The base 230i's turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides adequate thrust with 255 horsepower on tap, but performance junkies will want the 382 horsepower and all-wheel-drive grip of the M240i. That model has a stability control system that inspires confidence at the limit while still letting you have some fun once in a while.

Being rear-drive-based, the BMW 2 Series coupe is kind of in its own class, but nevertheless it competes with front-drive-based entry-luxe offerings such as the Audi A3 and S3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA. Read our test team's Expert Rating to see how the new 2 Series stacks up and whether BMW has been able to keep its small car magic alive.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2022 BMW 2 Series on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the 2 Series drive? This is what we want from a BMW. Overall handling and performance are excellent, though it should be noted that our 230i test car was equipped with the M Sport bits (suspension, steering, brakes and rear differential) as well as summer tires. We recorded a 0-60 mph sprint of 5.5 seconds. That's quicker than the Audi A3 or Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, and we expect the M240i will be similarly competitive with the Audi S3/RS 3 and AMG versions of the CLA. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes excellent low-range and midrange power, though it loses steam a bit toward the top of the rev band. It feels plenty strong around town or on the highway.

Braking and handling are nearly as impressive. The M Sport suspension helps keep body motions well in check, with only a mild amount of roll at the limit. The M Sport differential does an excellent job of managing traction, though the 230i will elicit a slide if you coax it. Braking was excellent, stopping from 60 mph in a scant 107 feet at our test track. The brakes are also easy to control when you're on the street.

The main disappointment here is the car's steering feel. It's weighted pretty well, but there's next to no feedback available to give you a sense of the front tires on the road.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the 2 Series? The 2 Series coupe isn't the most comfortable compact on the road, but we'd say the ride quality and overall refinement are about what we expect from a sporty coupe. The optional M Sport suspension obviously firms things up, but overall it strikes a decent balance between comfort and performance.

The front seats don't offer a huge amount of adjustment, but they're supportive and well padded. The heated seats and steering wheel work well, too, and we like that BMW continues to use dedicated physical controls for much of the climate control system.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? This is a small car, so everything is within easy reach. The driving position is excellent and operating the controls is straightforward. It makes driving the 2 Series with vigor all that more engaging. And despite the 2 Series' small proportions, blind spots are actually relatively minimal thanks to upright windows and unobtrusive roof pillars.

The 2 Series is relatively spacious, at least for front passengers. There's plenty of headroom, legroom and shoulder room. But the rear seat is a joke and won't be comfortable for adults, even on shorter drives. Even getting in the back requires some gymnastics most adults simply won't, or can't, perform. This is odd considering the previous-generation 2 Series had a roomier rear seat yet was a shorter car overall.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The 2 Series doesn't offer anything exceptional or outstanding in the technology department, but that shouldn't be a knock. BMW's infotainment system isn't the most straightforward system we've ever used, though controls for media, navigation and high-level settings are all easy to access. The 2 Series comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration as well as a wireless charging pad and multiple USB-C ports. The optional Harman Kardon audio system is excellent, with lots of clarity and well-rounded bass even at high volumes.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The 2 Series offers a decent amount of cargo space given its small size. The 10-cubic-foot trunk is a bit less than what you get from the Audi A3 or Mercedes CLA but is reasonably usable. Storage in the 2 Series coupe's cabin is good, too, with a decent-size armest bin and door pockets. Access to the wireless charging pad for your phone is partially blocked by the car's gear selector, however.

The 2 Series has anchors for a car seat, but actually getting either a seat or a child in the rear is going to be awkward and cumbersome. The seats do slide forward, but there's only so much room to work with in the back seat of a coupe. If you regularly have rear passengers of any size, the 2 Series may not be for you.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The 230i gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We got 31 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving test route, which is excellent for this class of car and indicates the EPA's numbers are realistic.

Value

8/10

Is the 2 Series a good value? The 2 Series coupe is pretty distinctive. Every other luxury coupe is either larger (Audi A5, BMW 4 Series, Lexus RC) or doesn't have a back seat (Toyota Supra, Porsche Cayman). All of those are significantly more expensive. The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are closer in price but don't exactly offer the same premium experience as the 2 Series. All around, we think you're getting your money's worth here.

BMW offers a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty, average for the class. The 2 Series also includes four years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance and three years/36,000 miles of regular service visits, both of which are better than what many other automakers offer.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The 2 Series' small size makes it feel fairly nimble, even if the steering doesn't communicate as much as we'd like it to. It's not the fastest BMW on the road, but it's no less entertaining to drive than some of its larger siblings. As another bonus, the styling is not quite as over-the-top as other new BMWs (yep, 4 Series, we're talking about you).

BMW 2 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz A-Class

Since the 2 Series coupe is a rear-wheel-drive two-door, comparing it to the A-Class isn't exactly an apples-to-apples matchup. Still, the two cars are close in price and have similar feature content. The A-Class is our top-ranked small luxury sedan and it drives well for a front-wheel-drive vehicle. It's not as sporty as the 2 Series coupe, but in higher AMG trims, the A-Class will keep you entertained. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

BMW 2 Series vs. Audi A3

Like the 2 Series, the Audi A3 has been redesigned for 2022. But like the A-Class, this front-drive-based sedan isn't a close match for the two-door BMW compact sports car. Still, the A3 has some things going in its favor including a cutting-edge interior with an impressive-looking 10.1-inch touchscreen. The A3 also has a slightly larger trunk (10.9 cubic feet versus 10.0 cubes in the BMW), though both are on the small side.

Compare BMW 2 Series & Audi A3 features

BMW 2 Series vs. BMW 4 Series

The 4 Series is the 2 Series' big sibling and is considerably longer and wider. The same engines found in the 2 Series are also available in the 4 Series, and both cars deliver a sporty driving experience. The 4 Series is considerably more expensive than the 2 Series but offers more standard features and, naturally, more space.
