Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the availability of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé, a unique vehicle concept in the compact segment that combines extroverted sportiness, perfectly controllable dynamics and progressive premium features. The two-door model is now even more attractive thanks to a detailed, modified design, extended standard equipment and consistent digitalisation. New paint finishes, light-alloy wheels, steering wheels, trim strips and seat upholstery add a modern touch to the exterior and interior of the vehicle. The new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and innovative digital services based on the BMW Operating System 8.5 also contribute to the progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé.

“For those who are familiar with the BMW 02 Series from the 60s and 70s, they will know what it represented not just for sporty driving, but also for BMW at the time,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “The new BMW 2 Series Coupé follows in those legendary footsteps with compact proportions, sharper design, and a powerful engine – everything that goes into a successful BMW coupé – and delivers a more emotional driving experience than ever before.”

The new BMW 2 Series Coupé is manufactured at the BMW Group plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The plant, which was opened in 2019, features particularly efficient and sustainable production processes.

Fresh design highlights, M Sport Package now standard.

The distinctive front end with individual round headlamps, the horizontal BMW radiator grille and the power dome on the long bonnet, the athletically modelled surfaces of the side view, the wide wheel arches and the short luggage compartment lid that ends in a striking air scoop give the new BMW 2 Series Coupé an unmistakable appearance. With the design features of the M Sport Package now fitted as standard, the new edition of the compact two-door model expresses its dynamic character even more intensively. The M specific design includes extra-large air intakes at the front of the vehicle, powerful side skirts and a striking rear apron with vertical reflectors and a diffuser-like insert.

At the front of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé, the surround of the BMW radiator grille is now finished in pearlescent chrome. The side skirts and the lower part of the rear apron are no longer painted in black, but in the colour of the vehicle. The diffuser insert is finished in high-gloss black for a contrasting effect at the rear.

The new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé has its own version of the M specific design features. These optimise the cooling air supply and aerodynamic balance. They include the high-gloss black inserts for the side air intakes, the black spoiler lip on the front apron, the model-specific rear spoiler and the trapezoidal tailpipes on the left and right of the rear apron.

Singapore. BMW Asia, Performance Motors Limited and Performance Munich Autos today announced the availability of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé, a car that embodies sporting prowess in a particularly concentrated form, with a vehicle concept focused squarely on dynamic excellence, an athletic design, powerful engines and sophisticated chassis technology.

BMW has opened a new chapter in its tradition of super-sporty compact models and has set a new benchmark for driving pleasure – a brand speciality – at the premium end of this vehicle class. Its standalone appearance, a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine at the sharp end of the line-up, rear-wheel drive and chassis components carried over from the BMW 4 Series put clear water between the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé and the compact BMW 1 Series, while also laying the foundations for performance attributes beyond the reach of any segment rival. The all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé therefore follows in the tyre tracks of the legendary BMW 02, which 55 years ago lit the fuse for the brand’s recent history of compact and irresistibly sporty two-door models.

As well as noticeable gains in dynamic ability, the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé also offers a premium cabin ambience of even greater class, and cutting-edge innovations in the areas of operation and connectivity. The advances made over the predecessor model are also reflected in a much wider range of driver assistance systems. The compact four-seater is built at the BMW Group’s San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico. A performance model from BMW M GmbH will top the range. The all-new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé uses its 374 hp six-cylinder in-line engine and intelligent all-wheel drive to generate a driving experience of rare emotional richness. Customers in Singapore can also opt for the all-new BMW 220i Coupé with a four-cylinder petrol engine that channels its power to the road through the rear wheels.

A vehicle concept with its sights set on sporting prowess.

The fresh, youthful and extrovert aura of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé is complemented by thoroughly engineered and perfectly balanced driving attributes. Its vehicle concept is geared squarely to offering agile and precisely controllable handling in highly dynamic situations. Compact dimensions, intelligent lightweight design for the body and chassis, an up to 12 per cent increase in static torsional rigidity compared to the predecessor model, almost perfect 50 : 50 weight distribution and optimised aerodynamics create an ideal blueprint for a vehicle character majoring in sporting excellence. The agility, steering precision and cornering dynamics of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé represent a significant step forward from the predecessor model. At the same time, optimised ride comfort and acoustics enhance the car’s abilities both in everyday driving and over long-distance journeys.

Distinctive proportions, athletic forms.

The exterior dimensions of the new compact sports car provide the ideal starting point for excellent driving dynamics. A vehicle length of 4,537 millimetres and width of 1,838 millimetres represent increases over the measurements for the predecessor model of 105 and 64 millimetres respectively. However, the new car stands 28 millimetres lower, with a vehicle height of 1,390 millimetres. Other factors in the powerful and athletic appearance of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé are its wheelbase, which is now 51 millimetres longer at 2,741 millimetres, and the wide tracks. Track widths of 1,575 millimetres (an increase of 54 millimetres) at the front axle and 1,587 millimetres (an increase of 31 millimetres) at the rear axle (BMW M240i xDrive Coupé: +63 millimetres at the front, +35 millimetres at the rear) are ideal for excellent cornering dynamics.

Powerful proportions set within the classical three-box design of bonnet, passenger compartment and boot embody the dynamic potential of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. Athletically sculpted surfaces and dynamic lines following the brand’s new design language represent an expression of pure driving pleasure. And exclusive design features underscore the unmistakable vehicle character.

Eye-catching front end: headlights and BMW kidney grille with exclusive design.

Three-dimensional surfaces, triangular forms and diagonal lines shape the striking front end of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. Prominently flared wheel arches and a muscular power dome at the centre of the bonnet give a clear indication of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé’s dynamic driving characteristics. The BMW kidney grille is horizontal in design and features vertically arranged air flaps at its heart in place of the classical bars. These open electrically when the engine behind the scenes has an increased need for cooling air.

The standard-fitted Adaptive LED Headlights with BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high beam assistant are positioned in the outer reaches of the front end and inspired by the legendary BMW 02 models, which have a single unit, circular design. These are also available in M lights Shadow Line specification with darkened inlays (standard on the all-new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé).

Side view with crisp lines; powerful rear.

A long bonnet, short overhangs and a set-back passenger compartment – whose rear section rests on powerfully flared wheel arches – headline the side view of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. Large glazed surfaces, a roofline that swoops down dynamically, and the short boot lid culminating in a pronounced spoiler lip are other identifying features of the compact sports model. Crisp lines give the surfaces a defined athletic edge.
