  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats

  • Navigation with real-time traffic
  • Apple CarPlay
  • Seven-speaker audio system
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

Also available is the Convenience package that adds:

  • Power-folding mirrors
  • Auto-dimming mirrors
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Universal garage door opener
  • Keyless entry and ignition

The optional M Sport X package adds some sporty personality with:

  • Larger wheels
  • Unique interior and exterior trim elements
  • Choice of a sport-tuned or standard suspension
  • Sport-tuned transmission
  • Sport steering wheel

The M35i trim includes all of the features listed above, minus the sunroof (though it is offered as an option). It also adds a few performance enhancers that include:

  • More powerful engine (301 hp)
  • Rear spoiler
  • More powerful brakes
  • Limited-slip differential (for enhanced traction)
  • Sport-tuned steering

The Premium package is offered on all X2 models and includes all of the Convenience package features plus:

  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated front seats
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)

Some optional features are available as stand-alone add-ons, along with:

  • Roof rails
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Adaptive dampers (M35i only)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Sport front seats (M35i only)
  • Harman Kardon premium audio
  • Wireless charging pad

Which X2 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base BMW X2 sDrive28i gets our recommendation for its agreeable price and long list of standard features. Drivers in cold and wet climates will probably want to upgrade to the xDrive28i to get all-wheel drive, and the $2,000 cost is reasonable. Only the most hardcore performance seekers will be able to justify the $10,000 premium to upgrade to the M35i.
