The 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.

More modern interior with more luxurious touch points
Convertible model is discontinued
Launches the second 2 Series generation

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.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 BMW 2 Series 230i 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.10 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

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.

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

8.0/10

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

8.0/10

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

8.0/10

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

8.0/10

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).

Which 2 Series does Edmunds recommend?

Of the two models available at launch, we recommend the M240i xDrive for its intoxicating power and playfully tuned all-wheel-drive system. You also get an adaptive suspension and M Sport differential, which further add to its performance credentials and fun factor.

Driver’s Comments

Acceleration:: The acceleration run using the default settings was pretty quick, but the 2 Series, like seemingly every other turbocharged car coming out of Germany, hesitates for a second before giving you the beans. It's lazy below 2,800 rpm, when a big swell of torque hits. The quickest run was done with launch control, a system that's significantly easier to operate on the 2 Series than on BMW's M cars. Sport Plus, brake torque (it will hold at 2,500 rpm) and release. It still hesitates, but once it moves, it moves with verve. The transmission will shift at 5,900 rpm in first and second gear, but the shifts themselves are smooth and quick. Revving out further and manually shifting didn't help. There's a good amount of midrange power, but the 230i starts to lose some steam up top. No wheelspin or anything with traction control on or off.
Braking:: Good performance, though it's about what I expected given the car was wearing P Zeros. These tires like heat and perform better after a few runs, though performance falls off quickly. The 2 Series stops dead straight, with a mild amount of dive. The pedal is firm and provides good feedback. I wish BMW's steering was tuned as well as its brakes. There's a lot of pulsing with the antilock braking system, but nothing crazy or worrisome.
Handling:: Dig it. Small BMWs are the best BMWs. The 2 Series feels responsive and nimble on the skidpad even if the steering wheel provides very little feedback. I think there's more steering feel here than in some larger BMWs, but it still isn't what it should be. In Sport Plus, the nose will push at the limit, but all you need to do is hold the wheel steady and work the throttle. The rear end will let you know when it's going to break loose. I don't know if I expected more, but I was neither surprised nor disappointed in the 0.95 g figure. It's easy to control and fun at the limit. Sport Traction still allows for some slip. Body motions are well checked, though this car had the optional M Sport suspension.

BMW 2 Series vs. the competition

2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

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.

2022 BMW 2 Series First Impressions

byMark Takahashi

•07/6/2021 (updated 11/16/2021)

What is the 2 Series?

The BMW 2 Series is a complicated vehicle to sort out. For years, this pint-sized luxury car was only available as a rear- or all-wheel-drive coupe or convertible. Then, in 2020, the 2 Series Gran Coupe threw BMW's entry-level lineup into chaos. Rather than simply being a four-door version of the base car (don't get us started on BMW's insistence on calling its sedans "Gran Coupe"), the 2 Series Gran Coupe was a completely different vehicle based on front-wheel-drive architecture. It didn't bode well for the aging 2 Series two-door — would its successor switch to FWD as well, or would it simply disappear from the lineup?

Neither, as it turns out. The redesigned 2022 BMW 2 Series is the next iteration of this small sports car, and it retains its forebears' rear-drive setup. Both of the available engines offer more power than the comparable 2021 motor, and the interior is upgraded to BMW's latest design aesthetic. And in a win for people with eyes everywhere, the engorged kidney grille of the 4 Series and other newer BMWs is absent here. Everything isn't gold, however — pour one out for the six-speed manual transmission, which is now lost to the sands of time.

How does the 2 Series drive?

The 2022 BMW 2 Series will initially launch in two configurations. First up is the rear-wheel-drive 230i coupe. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque — a bump of 7 hp and 37 lb-ft over the current model. Curiously, this also coincides with a slower 0-60 mph time. BMW says the new 230i will sprint to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, though the previous 230i was able to hit the same target in 5.3 seconds. We can't offer a definitive explanation as to why this is, but it's worth noting that BMW's published specifications suggest the new 230i is about 100 pounds heavier than its predecessor.

Is 5.2 seconds not quick enough? The all-wheel-drive M240i xDrive will scratch the itch for customers who want a more invigorating launch off the line. It uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that churns out 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This represents an increase of 47 hp and 1 lb-ft over the outgoing six-cylinder. BMW says the revised powertrain takes the M240i xDrive from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds — a 0.1-second improvement over the previous model. Both engines are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

We had the opportunity to drive the M240i xDrive on both public roads and on a racetrack and can report that it drives much like the previous-generation 2 Series, and for that, we're grateful. At the track, the new 2 Series is wildly entertaining to toss into corners and there's plenty of grip to do so with confidence. At the same time, there's not so much traction as to take the fun away. In the driver-selectable Sport modes, the electronic stability and traction controls give the driver much more freedom to make this diminutive BMW dance.

Feeding in a bit of steering input when entering a turn under maximum braking results in a graceful rotation around the vehicle's vertical axis, helping to point the car toward the turn's apex. When exiting the turn, it's easy to modulate the throttle to get a graceful arc or, if you are more liberal with the throttle, break the rear tires loose for a giggle-inducing power slide. We're happy to report that despite this new 2 Series being bigger and heavier, its playful personality remains.

If straight-line speed isn't your only barometer for performance, the 2 Series has a host of available features to transform this pint-sized coupe into a corner-carving demon. In certain driving conditions, power won't be sent to the front wheels at all on the M240i xDrive. That model also features a sport rear differential that can transfer up to 100% of torque to one wheel. Both functions combine to nullify the understeer presented by some other AWD systems. The M240i xDrive also features an adaptive suspension, allowing drivers to choose between ultimate handling and a comfortable ride at the press of a button.

Look for the lineup to expand after the launch in November 2021. An xDrive version of the 230i is in the works, as is a rear-wheel-drive version of the M240i. We also expect BMW will build high-performance M2 — probably for 2023 — and possibly a convertible 2 Series as well.

How comfortable is the 2 Series?

On public roads, the new 2 Series has a stiffer ride quality than rival sport luxury coupes or sedans, but never to the point that it feels jarring. The compromise is minor and well justified by its sharp handling. Seat comfort is helped by adequate cushioning and a design that delivers plenty of support. We didn't have time to evaluate the seats over long distances, but our expectation is that they will be as comfortable as any other competitor's seats.

In the default Comfort drive mode, the adaptive suspension (standard on the M240i) is in its softest setting, while selecting the Sport modes gets you a stiffer ride for sportier handling. The engine and exhaust noises also get louder and more inspiring in the Sport settings, adding just the right amount of theater. These settings don't change the 2 Series' character dramatically, but they are different enough to ably match your driving mood.

How's the 2 Series' interior?

The 2 Series might be one of the most budget-friendly models in BMW's lineup, but you can't tell judging by the interior. The overarching design bears a strong similarity to vehicles like the pricer 3 Series and X5. Digital information displays give the cabin a techie vibe, while details such as leatherette-trimmed door handles and textured aluminum-look panels drive home the impression that you've upgraded from a non-luxury coupe.

Space-wise, the 2 Series is a bit bigger than the previous model, and the wheelbase is 2 inches longer. Judging by BMW's published specifications, however, the new 2 Series will have roughly the same amount of legroom in both rows. Expect to see ample headroom and legroom up front, even for tall passengers. The rear is decidedly more compact and will likely really only be suitable for those short in stature or kids.

How's the 2 Series' tech?

The interior's centerpiece is an 8.8-inch touchscreen (upgraded to 10.25 inches when you select the Live Cockpit Professional option). It houses BMW's iDrive 7 infotainment system, which brings features such as a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the 2 Series. You also get SiriusXM 360L, a more robust version of the satellite radio subscription service that includes on-demand content and more channels.

The 2 Series continues to offer parking sensors, forward collision warning, blind-spot detection and lane departure warning as standard equipment. Additional driving aids are available, including adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera and an automated parking system. New for the 2022 2 Series are a head-up display and the BMW Drive Recorder, which allows you to record images from the camera feeds while driving or in the event of a collision.

What are the 2 Series' trim levels?

Initially, the 2022 BMW 2 Series will be offered only in a coupe body style and in two trims: 230i and M240i xDrive. Standard and optional features include:

230i

Edmunds says

The new 2022 BMW 2 Series keeps its predecessor's best attributes (driving excitement) and throws more power in for good measure. Meanwhile, interior and technology improvements keep it fresh and ready to challenge other luxury sport coupes.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 BMW 2 Series?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
