BMW 2 Series Coupe (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lithe handling	No hatchback boot
Smart interior	Length and width make it less manoeuvrable in town
Roomy by coupe standards	Not as practical as its four-door rivals

Quick Summary

The BMW 2 Series Coupe (2022-present) stands out in a market increasingly dominated by SUVs, offering a traditional small two-door coupe experience. This latest generation is larger, sportier, and more aggressive than its predecessor. While its main rival is the Audi TT, it also aims to attract buyers considering the Ford Mustang or Toyota GR86, positioning itself as a versatile option for coupe enthusiasts. Despite being a two-door, it offers surprising practicality, with more rear-seat space than an Audi TT, sufficient for two child seats, and a generous 390-litre boot with a versatile 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat.

The 2 Series Coupe retains its rear-wheel-drive layout, delighting driving purists with its brilliant fun, neutral chassis, and engaging feedback. Even entry-level models offer a sparkling drive, with more powerful versions delivering true performance. It strikes a good balance between sportiness and comfort, avoiding the harshness of some rivals. Standard equipment is generous, including triple-zone climate control, adaptive LED headlights, and heated seats. Running costs are most favourable for the diesel variant, achieving around 50mpg, while petrol models offer 35-40mpg (220i) and even the M240i can reach 30mpg, which is impressive for its power. BMW's use of timing chains across all engines also contributes to lower long-term maintenance.

Best for: Driving purists, those seeking a fun-to-drive, rear-wheel-drive coupe, buyers who need more practicality than a typical two-door coupe offers, and those who appreciate BMW's blend of performance and comfort.

Not ideal for: Buyers who require four doors for easier rear passenger access, those prioritising ultimate fuel efficiency (unless opting for the diesel), or those seeking the absolute lowest servicing costs compared to non-premium brands.

It offers a unique blend of engaging rear-wheel-drive dynamics, premium interior quality, and surprising practicality for a two-door.
