Singapore. BMW Asia announced the availability of the all-new BMW X2, the car that first introduced the vehicle concept of a Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) for the premium compact segment. Now, the even more distinctive, sportier and forward-looking second generation is taking to the stage. Significantly larger dimensions and a pronounced coupé silhouette clearly showcase in its exterior design the development leap taken by the all-new BMW X2.

“The all-new BMW X2 is guaranteed to turn heads on the road with its athleticism, shaking up the premium compact segment in Singapore,” said Mr. Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “As the entry-point into the BMW SAC lineup next to the BMW X4 and BMW X6, the BMW X2 appeals to the confident driver with an active lifestyle who also desires something stylish for the urban jungle. Plus, its Category A COE placement brings greater choice to our customers looking for a sporty drive.”

The all-new BMW X2 is produced flexibly on a single assembly line at BMW Group Plant Regensburg. The progressive premium character profile of the compact SAC is underscored by further advances in sustainability encompassing the complete vehicle lifecycle – from resource-preserving production through the use phase to subsequent recycling.

Exterior design: authentic Sports Activity Coupé with dynamic lines and a confident presence.

The all-new BMW X2 has a distinctive, visually expressive design showing clear differentiation from the brand’s compact Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), the BMW X1. As such, it is instantly identifiable as a pure-bred SAC. Also characteristic of the new model are its dynamically stretched lines and a generous surface treatment. The all-new BMW X2 has grown by 194 millimetres in length over its predecessor to 4,554 millimetres, by 21 millimetres in width to 1,845 millimetres and by 64 millimetres in height to 1,590 millimetres. Plus, its increased wheelbase and wider tracks benefit space in both the five seats and the boot. The all-new BMW X2 has a luggage capacity of 560 litres.

The model-specific, upright front end of the all-new BMW X2 exudes confidence and presence. Its defining elements are striking Adaptive LED headlights with non-dazzling matrix high beam and an almost hexagonal BMW kidney grille.

The roofline, which flows along an unbroken path into the rear end, creates a slim, coupé-shaped silhouette and proportions in the signature style of an SAC from BMW. At the rear, the prominently flared wheel arches and muscular shoulders come to the fore. The horizontal contours of the model-specific rear light design further enrich the sporting flavour, as do a Gurney-style spoiler and an eye-catching rear apron.

The M Sport package brings aerodynamically optimised exterior details like M High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, and M roof rails with High-gloss Shadowline. Customers can choose from four paint finishes including two two-tone variants for the exterior of their all-new BMW X2, including the new Fire Red metallic variant.

Premium ambience with a sporting flavour; impressive functionality.

The interior of the all-new BMW X2 has a modern premium ambience with sporting touches. The slender instrument panel, housing the BMW Curved Display, is joined in the cabin by a “floating” armrest with integral control panel. In the front section of the centre console are two cup holders and a smartphone tray with indirect illumination and wireless charging.

The newly developed seats are also offered in the Veganza perforated upholstery with sport seats, electric seat adjustment, and memory function for the driver. Further improvements have been made to both acoustic comfort and occupant protection. Standard equipment now includes an interaction airbag between the driver’s seat and front passenger seat.

Expanded standard equipment, targeted individualisation.

Two-zone automatic climate control, the navigation system BMW Maps and an M Sport leather steering wheel all come as standard in the all-new BMW X2, as do automatic tailgate operation, four USB-C ports and a 12V power socket in both the centre console and the boot. The number of driver assistance systems and digital services available has also increased significantly over the predecessor model. Other standard equipment includes the interior and exterior mirror package.

Efficient petrol engine, seven-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch as standard.

A three-cylinder petrol unit from the latest modular generation of the Efficient Dynamics engine family powers the all-new BMW X2 sDrive16i. The 1.5-litre engine delivers maximum output of 90 kW/122 hp. A standard seven-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch is available in the all-new BMW X2.

Optimum blend of agility and ride comfort, 21-inch light-alloy wheels optionally available for a compact BMW model for the first time.

The compact SAC’s sophisticated chassis technology produces a perfectly harmonious balance between sporty, agile handling on the one hand and long-distance comfort on the other. All the tools required here are provided by a body construction that reduces weight while increasing rigidity, a long wheelbase, wider tracks than the predecessor model, and targeted upgrades to the single-joint spring strut axle at the front and the three-link rear axle. Near-actuator wheel slip limitation is fitted as standard in the new BMW X2, benefiting both traction and directional stability. Other new features include the integrated braking system and the extra, lift-related damping at the front axle. The optional adaptive M suspension features frequency-selective damping, sport steering and a 15-millimetre drop in ride height. The all-new BMW X2 sDrive16i comes as standard with 20-inch M light-alloy wheels.

State-of-the-art driver assistance systems for greater comfort and safety.

The standard and optional assistance systems for automated driving and parking available in the all-new BMW X2 increase comfort and safety both in everyday driving and on longer journeys. Standard features include Cruise Control with brake function while the Parking Assistant includes Reversing Assist Camera and Reversing Assistant also forms part of the standard equipment roster.

The new BMW Operating System 9 and BMW Digital Premium.

The latest version of the BMW iDrive display and control/operation system featuring QuickSelect rapid-access tech is fitted in the all-new BMW X2. Based on BMW Operating System 9, it is packaged together with the BMW Curved Display and BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, meaning it has been carefully geared to operation using the touchscreen and natural language. BMW Operating System 9 also paves the way for a highly customisable selection of additional digital services. In addition to this, a Personal eSIM designed for 5G mobile technology, the BMW Digital Key Plus, the BMW ID functionality and standard smartphone integration using both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are also all available in the all-new BMW X2.

The BMW X2 is the car that first introduced the vehicle concept of a Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) for the premium compact segment. And now the even more distinctive, even sportier and even more forward-looking second generation is taking to the stage. Significantly larger dimensions and a pronounced coupé silhouette clearly showcase in its exterior design the development leap taken by the new BMW X2. The progressive character of the new model is also evident in the fully electric BMW iX2 variant, as well as in a large spread of systems enabling automated driving and parking, and in the innovative digital services laid on by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Operating System 9.

The worldwide market launch will get underway in March 2024 with the all-electric BMW iX2 xDrive30 (electric power consumption combined in the WLTP cycle: 17.7 – 16.3 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km; figures in NEDC cycle: – ), BMW X2 M35i xDrive performance model (fuel consumption combined: 8.0 – 7.7 l/ 100 km [35.3 – 36.7 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions combined: 181 – 174 g/km in the WLTP cycle; figures in NEDC cycle: – ), one other petrol option and one diesel model.

Singapore. BMW Asia and Performance Motors Limited today launched the BMW X2 M Mesh Edition in Singapore. With this special edition, the Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) is introducing an M mesh kidney grille and exclusive new colour combinations, together with an updated front end, to freshen up the premium compact segment once again.

Since its debut in 2018, the BMW X2 has successfully fused an extrovert aura with sporting looks and modern lifestyle features, and carved out a very distinctive place for itself in the BMW X model family and beyond. With its standalone design and exclusive details – such as the additional BMW logo on the C-pillar referencing classic BMW coupés like the 2000 CS and 3.0 CSL – the BMW X2 has earned itself a worldwide fan club. The BMW X2 marks the entry point into the BMW X family of SACs and has a very distinct place in the line-up alongside its larger siblings – the BMW X4 and BMW X6.

The BMW X2 has filled the role of confident urban rebel in impressive style – and now, the athletic BMW X2 M Mesh Edition will use its unique combination of individuality, driving pleasure, lifestyle elements and functionality to appeal to even more active and outgoing customers in the young and young-at-heart target group.

Eye-catching BMW M mesh kidney grille and new colour accents.

The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition builds stylistically on the M Sport X model and gives the BMW X2 an even more exclusive and distinctive appearance. The most prominent change is the BMW M mesh kidney grille in High-gloss Black. Like the grille on the sporty BMW X2 M35i, it has a pronounced three-dimensional mesh inspired by racing cars. The new signature colour Frozen Black-Brown metallic – a mocha-like shade – can be found on the BMW X2 M Mesh Edition in the exclusive inserts in the bumper trim, the prominent cladding on the side skirts and doors, and the wheel arch trim.

The special-edition model can also be specified at no extra cost with bold new decals on the bonnet, the sides of the front bumper, and the front and rear doors. In bold Orange, they provide the perfect complement to the new Brooklyn Grey metallic paint finish exclusive to the BMW X2 M Mesh Edition, as well as the Sapphire Black metallic exterior shade. If one of the other paint shades – Alpine White, Phytonic Blue metallic, or Sunset Orange metallic – is specified, the decals come in Black. The colour of the decals is shared by the inserts for the new 19-inch M aerodynamic wheels.

BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line with extended features comes as standard. As well as the High-gloss Black window and exterior mirror surrounds, the mirror base, mirror triangle, B-pillar trim and trim surround on the C-pillars, this package also includes the surround for the M mesh kidney grille, a ring around the BMW badge on the tailgate and exhaust tailpipe finishers in Black Chrome.

LED headlights with integrated bad weather light shape the front end design.

The clear surfacing of the updated front end catches the eye and teams up with the standard LED headlights to create a powerful appearance. The circular front fog lights have been removed, bringing a cleaner design to the front bumper. Their role is taken over by the bad weather light integrated into the LED headlights. In adverse weather conditions and poor visibility, judicious activation of the cornering light provides optimal illumination of the road’s edge. Another new feature is the projection of an X2 logo from the exterior mirror on the driver’s side as part of the standard lighting package, which also includes door handle lighting, ground lighting, exterior mirror lighting, and door entry light.

Sporty interior.

The visually expressive exterior of the BMW X2 M Mesh Edition extends into the sporty interior. The exclusive covers for the M sport seats with integral head restraints and the rear seat bench feature a blend of Dakota leather in eye-catching Mocha and Anthracite-coloured Alcantara.

The most distinctive feature of the new model is the standard bi-colour interior appointments. Contrast stitching in orange adds a further flourish to the upholstery, instrument panel, and centre console. This creates a colour connection with the decals at the front end and sides of the body, as well as the accents in the exclusive M aerodynamic wheels. The floor mats have edge binding and stitching in Orange. The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition also brings special entry sills with “Edition” lettering.

M sport seats with integral head restraints and a selection of other BMW M GmbH hallmarks heighten the car’s sporting impression. For example, the standard-fitted M stainless steel pedals provide the perfect complement to the M driver’s footrest. Also included as standard are the M leather steering wheel and a car key with exclusive M identifier. The interior trim strips are in Aluminium Hexagon Anthracite, and the BMW Individual headliner in sporty Anthracite. Exclusive LED fibre-optic light guides in the door trim add flourishes of colour.

The cabin showcases BMW’s hallmark driver focus with ergonomically arranged controls. The driver’s raised seating position provides an unbeatable view out and optimal command over the task of driving. The modern black-panel technology in the instrument cluster and information display combines form and function in typical BMW fashion. One example here is the centre console with a combination of open compartments and others that can be closed using roller lids. The boot has a capacity of 470 litres, ensuring it is perfectly equipped for leisure activities of all kinds – from shopping trips to cycling weekends.

Pure driving fun.

The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition is exclusively available in the BMW X2 sDrive18i engine variant. Following updates to comply with the Euro 6d emissions standard, its 1.5-litre three-cylinder unit generates 136 hp and feeds peak torque of 220 Nm to the front wheels via a seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch transmission. The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and has a top speed of 205 km/h. The car’s driving responses can be adapted with a simple push of the Driving Experience Control switch, which allows drivers to choose between default COMFORT mode, efficiency-enhancing ECO PRO mode and SPORT mode. The pre-programmed set-up available via SPORT mode gives the car even more dynamic steering and powertrain responses. The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition also has the M Sport suspension fitted as standard, imbuing the SAC with dynamic roadholding characteristics.

Intelligent connectivity and three intuitive methods of operation.

The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition boasts intuitive operation and intelligent connectivity, allowing the person at the wheel to focus their attention entirely on the most important task at hand - driving. The ID6 display and operating concept offers three different ways of operating the individual vehicle and navigation functions; using the iDrive Controller; the Control Display’s touchscreen functionality; or a voice control system capable of understanding naturally formulated sentences.

The freestanding Control Display (which can also be easily operated by the front passenger) measures 8.8 inches across in standard guise and provides a quick overview of all key information – thanks to the tiles shown in the display’s main menu. A hands-free facility with Bluetooth interface and DAB digital radio reception are likewise included as standard. The standard-fitted BMW Navigation system is easy to operate, with its user interface mimicking a smartphone’s intuitive touch control.  Along with a 5.7-inch information display in the instrument cluster, the driver has all the information he needs within easy reach. A most advantageous feature is the Real Time Traffic Information, of which up-to-the-minute traffic data helps the driver with route planning and sends alerts on possible hold-ups due to congestion.

Intelligently connected with BMW ConnectedDrive Services.

The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition links up with the BMW ConnectedDrive Services, enabling the driver to organise their daily routines as efficiently as possible, both inside and outside the car. The BMW Connected app and, in future, the My BMW app will keep the driver informed of the vehicle’s status at all times, while they can also access their BMW X2 M Mesh Edition remotely using Remote Services. These functions make it possible to lock and unlock the vehicle via the app, for example, display its current location or send the destination address from a smartphone to the car’s navigation system before even starting the journey. Free vehicle apps available via BMW Online also provide up-to-date weather forecasts or the latest news.

The BMW X2 M Mesh Edition is now available for viewing at the Performance Motors Limited showroom.

The first-ever BMW X2 now available in Singapore.

A new breed of car takes to the stage.

Singapore. BMW Asia and Performance Motors today launched the first-ever BMW X2, a car that is more than just a new BMW X model. With its unmistakable design and sporty, urban genes, it makes a confident impression both in its class and within the BMW X model family.

The Sports Activity Coupe goes above and beyond any rival past or present in bringing joy and driving pleasure to the segment. Its inimitable character appeals most strongly to young, extrovert and active people who attach great value to individuality, genuine fun at the wheel and lifestyle matters, without wanting to leave themselves short on functionality.

The digital services from BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW ConnectedDrive Services – both of which are now available in freshly updated form – add further intensity to the overall first-ever BMW X2 experience.

DESIGN.

The cool X.

The bold, uncompromising nature of the first-ever BMW X2 is evident at first sight. This vehicle stands out from the crowd in any setting. Even next to its bigger brothers, the BMW X4 and X6, the first-ever BMW X2 makes a wholly distinctive impression. The main contributing factor here is the car’s exterior design, which essentially combines the fast-moving body language and low-slung proportions of a coupe with the robust construction of a BMW X model.

Eloquent looks, dynamic proportions.

Above all, it is the first-ever BMW X2’s proportions which create its expressive, dynamic demeanour. It is shorter and more than seven centimetres lower than the BMW X1 yet has the same wheelbase. Featuring short overhangs, it also has a stretched, coupe-style roofline and slim window graphic.

A distinctive character that departs from the BMW script.

Many of the design details emphasise the first-ever BMW X2’s standalone nature while simultaneously and unequivocally signalling its membership of the X family. The time-honoured BMW kidney grille is just one example, turning the familiar trapezoidal shape on its head and instead widening from top to bottom. This is the first time this design detail has seen the light of day on a modern BMW. Another striking detail more typical of a BMW coupe is the placement of the brand logo on the C-pillars. This is another element that underscores the sporting aspirations of the first-ever BMW X2.

EXTERIOR DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS: FRONT END.

BMW kidney grille.

The kidney grille has always been an identifying feature of a BMW. On the first-ever BMW X2, however, its outline is wider at its base than at its top. The first-ever BMW X2 is the first modern BMW to feature this design cue, and it gives the new car a broader, even more distinctive and even sportier appearance. Below the grille, the hexagonal surface treatment in the bumper further reinforces this impression. The kidney grille provides a visual expression of the first-ever BMW X2’s classy appeal. The fronts to the grille bars in High-gloss Black contrast with the grille’s chrome surround.

Headlights.

The design of the first-ever BMW X2’s headlights reinforces its striking, sporty looks. Familiar twin circular elements (including LED daytime driving lights) combine with the foglamps to create the characteristic six-eyed face of the X family and make the vehicle instantly recognisable. Because the inner headlights are slightly narrower than the outer ones, the first-ever BMW X2 assumes a tangible air of concentration and dynamism. Moreover, shiny chrome surfaces add a high-quality touch while a chrome bar at the outer edges enhances the impression of width.

Full-LED headlights come as standard on the first-ever BMW X2. The bi-LED light for low beam and high beam is extremely bright and effective at illuminating the road, while also accentuating the first-ever BMW X2’s sporty looks particularly impressively. The headlights display fine detailing, achieved in part through hexagonal LED daytime driving light tubes and laser engraving.

BMW roundel on the C-pillars.

The C-pillars host two characteristic BMW features: the hallmark BMW Hofmeister kink and, for the first time on a BMW X model, the BMW roundel. There is something special about the design of both these items. As an integral element of the C-pillar, the Hofmeister kink on the first-ever BMW X2 is slightly elongated and does not cross over the door line. This boosts the sporty looks of this Sports Activity Coupe. The BMW roundel on the C-pillars invokes a design cue much admired on classic BMW coupes such as the 2000 CS and 3.0 CSL, and ensures the car is instantly recognisable on the road.

Roofline.

The roofline of the first-ever BMW X2 has an almost coupe-like lightness, which gives the whole car the impression of surging forward like an athlete. A key contributor here is the styling above the familiar BMW swage line, where the body tapers in sharply towards the glasshouse. These athletic shoulders generate a large number of light surfaces in the upper section of the first-ever BMW X2 makes the glasshouse appear lighter. The extremely slim window graphic teams up with the M rear spoiler to inject extra dynamism into the car’s proportions.

EXTERIOR DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS: REAR END.

Rear lights.

The horizontal design lines of the first-ever BMW X2’s rear end tighten the visual distance between the car and the road, emphasising the car’s width and therefore its sporty character. These lines continue into the high-set rear lights. The LED rear lights represent a symbiosis of the T-shape lighting contour shared by other BMW X models and the L shape familiar from BMW coupes. This iconographic light signature includes a precise LED strip on the inside the rear light units. The first-ever BMW X2 is therefore clearly recognisable, even in the dark.

Rear bumper.

The first-ever BMW X2 has a broad, planted stance on the road, especially when viewed from the rear. Creating this impression of width are the horizontal design lines and distinctive rear bumper.

Tailpipes.

One of the ways the first-ever BMW X2 expresses the inherent power of its BMW TwinPower Turbo engines is through the design of the tailpipes. All four-cylinder engine variants come with 90mm twin tailpipes.

INTERIOR AND EQUIPMENT.

Contemporary ambience with premium flair.

The interior of the first-ever BMW X2 blends signature BMW elements, such as a pronounced driver focus and dynamic lines, with the understated ruggedness of a BMW X model. The high-class quality of the first-ever BMW X2 and its impressive level of equipment, are both instantly apparent. The instrument panel has contrast stitching and decorative stitching as standard, while the centre console features materials including Sensatec with contrast stitching.

The first-ever BMW X2 deftly combines all of this with a generous helping of everyday practicality. The boot has a capacity of 470 litres, meaning it can effortlessly handle leisure activities, from shopping sprees to a skiing weekend or mountain-bike tour. This high level of functionality manifests itself in the passenger compartment too, thanks to features such as a door design featuring large pockets and stowage bins lower down.

INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS.

Driver focus.

The cabin of the first-ever BMW X2 is focused on the driver, with the design of features such as the instrument panel binnacle clearly directed at the road ahead. All controls are ergonomically positioned to allow the driver to assimilate their information with a single glance and operate them with supreme ease. This all helps to transform the driver’s seat into an exclusive driving environment where the sportiness that the first-ever BMW X2 oozes through every inch of a journey can be experienced with special intensity.

All-round visibility.

The driver and passengers are seated in an elevated position in typical BMW X-model fashion. This results in an excellent all-round view and places the driver in complete control of the driving situation. Both the driver and passengers seem to be looking down on the instrument panel,which reinforces the impression of an optimum view over the road – combined with flawless operability.

Materials.

The first-ever BMW X2 makes quality something its owners can experience. The softly foamed instrument panel is pleasant to the touch, gains further visual appeal with contrast stitching and decorative stitching. The choice of trim finishers, including the new Aluminium Hexagon Anthracite variant, further underlines the high-quality credentials of the first-ever BMW X2.

Controls.

All functional controls in the centre console are set in high-gloss black fascias as standard, giving the interior a special touch of timeless elegance.

Lighting package.

The lighting package allows drivers to set a stylish lighting mood for the interior of their first-ever BMW X2 by choosing from the colours Orange, Lilac, Mint, Bronze, Blue and White. The LED lighting in the trim surfaces of the instrument panel and door panels forms a continuous band that extends all the way around the cabin to the rear. The way in which the monitor and control consoles seem to be almost floating above and in front of the instrument panel is a particularly stunning effect of the night-time look.

Black panel technology.

The modern black panel technology included in every first-ever BMW X2 as standard is one of its standout features. Employed for both the instrument cluster and the information display, it highlights the vehicle’s high level of technical sophistication.

Panoramic roof.

The panoramic roof found on the list of optional extras further adds to the sense of spaciousness inside the first-ever BMW X2 and bathes the passenger compartment in light. The front section of the panoramic roof tilts and slides open, just like a conventional sunroof.

DRIVING DYNAMICS.

Driving pleasure on all types of road.

First-ever BMW X2 drivers think differently, they break with conventions and they lead the way. So the first-ever BMW X2 really is the perfect car for them.

The Sports Activity Coupe cuts a dashing figure on every journey, not least thanks to its peerless BMW TwinPower Turbo engines and sophisticated powertrain. These components team up with the car’s refined chassis to endow it with class-beating handling qualities, exceptional agility and superb feedback, thereby allowing the first-ever BMW X2 to generate levels of driving pleasure unprecedented in this segment.

Exhilarating sportiness on all roads.

The common denominator of all first-ever BMW X2 models is a further improved chassis that transfers the immense agility and dynamism of the BMW engines to the road, thus providing an excellent basis for a thrilling driving experience. The car’s driving responses can be adapted with a simple push of the Driving Experience Control switch, which allows drivers to choose between default COMFORT mode, efficiency-enhancing ECO PRO mode and SPORT mode. The pre-programmed set-up available via SPORT mode gives the car even more dynamic steering and powertrain responses.

If the optional Adaptive Suspension (incl. 10 mm lower ride height) is specified, the car’s suspension can be adjusted even more precisely to individual tastes and requirements. Drivers can choose between two settings – COMFORT or SPORT – using the Driving Experience Control switch. The result is sporty suspension offering solid roadholding and reassuring comfort over any surface.

Dual-clutch transmission.

First though, the newcomer will be launched with a choice of the first-ever BMW X2 sDrive20i petrol model. It is equipped with the sporty seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch transmission, which stands out with both its swift gear changes and highly efficient operation, making it another factor in the low CO2 figure. The 192 hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit delivers remarkable performance figures, too. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is over in a rapid 7.7 seconds and top speed is 227 km/h.

DIGITAL SERVICES.

The intelligently connected, clever way to travel.

As far as BMW is concerned, there is one thing that always comes first in a connected vehicle: the task of driving. For this reason, all of the BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW Connected elements in the first-ever BMW X2 have once again been designed to assist, inform or entertain the driver at the appropriate time using just the right services.

Intuitive interaction between driver and vehicle forms the basis for top-class connectivity. The first-ever BMW X2 offers its driver three different ways of interacting with their car, as the sixth generation of the iDrive control concept now supplements the familiar iDrive Controller and voice control with touchscreen operation for the Control Display. The touchscreen can also be used comfortably by the front passenger.

Intuitive usability and displays.

Standard specification for every first-ever BMW X2 includes a 6.5-inch Touch Control Display with navigation. This is can be upgraded to the optional 8.8-inch Touch Control Display with navigation. The display concept is designed to provide the driver with a quick summary of the most important information at any particular time by means of, for example, the tiles that appear in the display’s main menu.

For even greater safety and convenience in the first-ever BMW X2, there is the option of the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display, which projects all important driving information and navigation/assistance system readouts onto the windscreen and therefore into the driver’s field of view – in high resolution.

Intelligently connected.

The integration of BMW Connected and BMW ConnectedDrive Services focuses on the needs of the first-ever BMW X2 driver. These digital services and comfort-enhancing functions enable first-ever BMW X2 drivers to organise their daily routines as efficiently as possible, both inside and outside the car – and, in so doing, allow them more time to enjoy life.

BMW Connected+ provides a digital bridge between smartphones and the car. It delivers the next level of in-car personalisation and smartphone content integration on the Control Display of the first-ever BMW X2. This makes display and operation in the vehicle simpler than ever. One example of a new Connected+ service is Share Live Trip Status, which makes the question “What’s your ETA” a thing of the past; the driver can share their current location and time of arrival with business partners, friends or family.

Driver assistance systems: drive with assurance, arrive relaxed.

Not only does the first-ever BMW X2 offer drivers a wide selection of driver assistance systems, it also boasts highly advanced technologies.

The standard Park Distance Control and the rear-view camera, whose images are transferred onto the Control Display, make precise and comfortable manoeuvring that much easier. The likewise Parking Assistant also helps the driver to find and make use of parallel parking spaces.

The camera-based assistance systems available for the first-ever BMW X2 help to ensure greater assurance and safety in different driving situations. The optional Driving Assistant includes Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info with No Passing Info display, High Beam Assistant, Collision Warning and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function.

In addition to these functions, the optional Driving Assistant Plus line-up also features the Active Cruise Control system with Stop & Go function – which maintains both a desired speed between 30 and 140 km/h entered by the driver and the safety distance to vehicles travelling ahead – and the Traffic Jam Assistant. At speeds up to 60 km/h, this optional function takes over both proximity control and lane-keeping tasks from the driver. The optional Traffic Jam Assistant uses steering assistance to keep the car reliably in the middle of its lane, but the driver needs to have at least one hand on the steering wheel for the system to work.

MODEL VARIANTS.

The first-ever BMW X2: powerful and agile.

The first-ever BMW X2 has an invigoratingly fresh feel to it. It immediately stands out as a BMW X model, yet it has a highly distinctive appearance, too. This is partly down to its different proportions, the execution of many of its details, the placement of the BMW roundel and the reinterpretation of a BMW design icon – the kidney grille. Plus, the black strip of cladding encircling the body produces the characteristically robust X model look, while lending visual emphasis to the ground clearance.

M Sport X

Not only does the launch of the first-ever BMW X2 add a new member to the BMW X family, the new M Sport X model is also making its debut. On the road, the first-ever BMW X2 has the poise of an athlete in peak condition. This is even more so for the M Sport X model. The BMW X2 M Sport X combines design elements from BMW M and the BMW X family.

The design of the first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X brings the vehicle’s sporty X character to the fore. Taking its cue from the add-on parts, decals and paint finishes in complementary colours familiar from rally cars, prominent use is made of the colour Frozen Grey to produce an overall picture of striking contrasts. This shade is used for features such as the specific M Sport X elements, which are visible from virtually every angle.

Further standout features of the M Sport X model include the extremely dynamic bumper styling and a twin arrangement of tailpipes that are 90 mm in diameter. The first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X gets a bespoke diffusor insert in the contrast colour Frozen Grey. The new rear bumper and tailgate design sees the latter sitting flush with the rear apron. And that gives the rear end a supremely harmonious feel.

The side skirts of the first-ever BMW X2 are among its signature features and contribute in no small part to its rugged and assured good looks. The first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X has specially designed cladding inserts in Frozen Grey. When viewed from the side, this lighter colour shade generates an impression of higher ground clearance and ensures this model stands apart clearly from its stablemates.

The M Sport suspension fitted as standard on the first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X is a particularly good match for this model and includes tauter spring and damper tuning. With the M Sport suspension, the car is also lowered by 10 mm for even sportier roadholding. The optional Adaptive Suspension which uses dynamic dampers to variably adjust damper response behaviour, further enhances the driving dynamics.

FIRST-EVER BMW X2 M SPORT X EQUIPMENT OPTION HIGHLIGHTS.

Exterior colours.

Eight exterior colours are available as an option, including the Galvanic Gold metallic finish, against which the wraparound signature shade Frozen Grey produces a stunning visual contrast. This gives added impact to the character of the first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X.

Wheels.

The first-ever BMW X2 has a poised on-road stance thanks to large wheels and a striking wheel rim design. The 19-inch style 722 M wheels fitted on the first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X as standard are exclusive to this X2 model variant. The optionally available 20-inch wheels in style 717 M really grab the attention – not just with their size, but their extravagant design, too.

M Rear spoiler.

Available with the M Sport X model, the sportier M rear spoiler provides a dynamic flourish to round off the first-ever BMW X2’s roofline. As well as emphasising the car’s sportiness, it also underscores the narrow look of the rear window area. Together with the width-enhancing rear bumper, this creates an extremely powerful rear view.

Upholstery.

With its Micro Hexagon fabric/Alcantara Anthracite combination with M piping and contrast stitching in blue or yellow, the first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X accentuates the model’s superb quality and sporting ambience. Numerous upholstery options are available, including the newly available perforated Dakota leather in Magma Red, allow first-ever BMW X2 drivers to customise the interior as they please.

Trim finishers.

The new Aluminium Hexagon Anthracite trim finisher with an accent strip in Pearl-effect Chrome can be specified for the first-ever BMW X2 M Sport X. Its design mirrors the hexagonal structure that is also a characteristic feature of the first-ever BMW X2’s exterior styling. Five further trim finishers are optionally available and all include an accent strip that matches the specific trim finisher, as well as contour lighting in the door trim.

The first-ever BMW X2 is now available for viewing at the Performance Motors showroom.

• Three engine/transmission variants are offered from launch: the BMW X2 xDrive20i petrol model with 141 kW / 192 hp (fuel consumption combined: 5.9 – 5.5 l/100 km [47.9 – 51.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 134 – 126 g/km)*, plus the X2 xDrive20d diesel variant with 140 kW / 190 hp (fuel consumption combined: 4.8 – 4.6 l/100 km [58.9 – 61.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 126 – 121 g/km)* and X2 xDrive25d diesel with 170 kW / 231 hp (fuel consumption combined: 5.3 – 5.1 l/100 km [53.3 – 55.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 139 – 133 g/km)*. Both diesel cars come as standard with xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive and the eight-speed Steptronic transmission. The petrol model is fitted with the sporty seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch transmission.
• Further attractive model variants will be added to the Sports Activity Coupe line-up in early 2018 – in the shape of the three-cylinder X2 sDrive18i and the four-cylinder X2 xDrive20i, X2 sDrive18d and X2 xDrive18d. The outputs of the petrol models range from 103 kW / 140 hp in the X2 sDrive18i (with manual gearbox, fuel consumption combined: 6.3 – 6.0 l/100 km [44.8 – 47.1 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 144 – 138 g/km**; with seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch transmission, fuel consumption combined: 6.2 – 5.9 l/100 km [45.6 – 47.9 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 141 – 135 g/km**) up to 141 kW /192 hp in the X2 xDrive20i (fuel consumption combined: 6.2 – 6.1 l/100 km [45.6 – 46.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 142 – 138 g/km**). The diesel X2 sDrive18d (with manual gearbox, fuel consumption combined: 4.6 – 4.5 l/100 km [61.4 – 62.8 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 121 – 119 g/km**; with eight-speed Steptronic transmission, fuel consumption combined: 4.7 – 4.5 l/100 km [60.1 – 62.8 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 124 – 118 g/km**) and X2 xDrive18d (fuel consumption combined: 5.2 – 4.8 l/100 km [54.3 – 58.9 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 137 – 128 g/km**) have 110 kW / 150 hp.
• The options list for the BMW X2 includes the latest generation of BMW ConnectedDrive and the most recent update of the BMW Connected App. Optional functions such as Apple CarPlay and an array of driver assistance systems serve up a connected driving experience. Among the optional equipment features offered exclusively by the BMW X2 in this segment is the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display.

* Fuel consumption figures are based on the EU test cycle and may vary depending on the tyre format specified.

** Fuel consumption figures are provisional, based on the EU test cycle and may vary depending on the tyre format specified.

The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers the different size of the selected wheels and tires. The values of the vehicles labelled with (**) are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2 emissions, the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here (depending on national legislation).

The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Pkw-EnVKV, and based (for classification) on the fuel consumption and CO2 values as per the NEDC cycle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and specific CO2 emission values of new passenger cars is included in the following guideline: “Leitfaden über Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen” (Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be obtained free of charge from all dealerships and at https://www.dat.de/en/offers/publications/guideline-for-fuel-cons
