  <strong>Munich.</strong> Autumn 2025 adds revised powertrains, new
  features and practical details to the current BMW model range. The
  entry-level models into the world of BMW M – the BMW M240i xDrive
  Coupé as well as the corresponding models in the BMW 3 Series and 4
  Series – will in future have more powerful and fuel-efficient petrol
  engines. In the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and the BMW i4, the optional
  Adaptive LED Headlights will now also include laser rear lights.</p>
<p>
  <strong>More power, reduced consumption for BMW M240i xDrive Coupé and
    the entry-level models into the world of BMW M in the BMW 3 Series
    and BMW 4 Series.</strong></p>
<p>Autumn 2025 will see both the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan (WLTP combined
  (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.5 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  172 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class F) and the BMW M340i xDrive Touring
  (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.9 litres/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 181 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class G) fitted with
  a more powerful variant of the 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol
  engine. It now has an output of 288 kW/392 hp, with the mild hybrid
  system contributing 9 kW/12 hp. The overall increase in power over the
  previous model is 13 kW/18 hp. Maximum torque has also increased by 40
  Nm, to 540 Nm.</p>
<p>This revised powertrain will in future also be fitted in the BMW
  M440i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7
  litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 175 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class
  F), the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel
  consumption 7.7 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 176 g/km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> class G) and the BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé (WLTP
  combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.8 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions 179 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class G).</p>
<p>The output increase makes for even more dynamic performance in the
  BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series models mentioned above. It shaves 0.1
  seconds off the time it takes each model to accelerate from 0 to 100
  km/h. As a result, the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan can now perform this
  sprint in just 4.3 seconds. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined
  (EnVKV): fuel consumption 8.0 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  183 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class G) now also comes fitted with this more
  powerful engine.</p>
<p>In addition to the output boost, all models benefit from a
  significant increase in engine efficiency. As a result, the WLTP fuel
  consumption of the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé, for example, drops from
  8.8–8.7 litres/100 km to 8.0 litres/100 km. CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  were likewise reduced, from the previous 200–199 g/km to 183 g/km (see
  table below for all fuel consumption and emissions figures of the new powertrains).</p>
<p>
  <strong>New exterior colours for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, Adaptive
    LED headlights available for more BMW 4 Series models, practical
    addition for the BMW 5 Series family.</strong>
  <br />From autumn 2025, an additional exterior colour will be
  available as an option for all versions of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
  with the M Sport design or the M Sport package. Cape York Green can be
  ordered for the first time in conjunction with these trim levels.</p>
<p>The optional Adaptive LED Headlights for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé
  and BMW i4 will also benefit from a significant upgrade. In addition
  to headlights that will illuminate the road evenly in every situation,
  this option will now also include laser rear lights. Moreover,
  Adaptive LED Headlights are also available as an individual option
  without the M Sport package Pro for the BMW 420i, BMW 420d and BMW
  420d xDrive.</p>
<p>In conjunction with Veganza and Merino upholstery, the comprehensive
  standard equipment in the BMW X3 now also includes rear headrests and
  side sections of the second row of seats in the upholstery colour.
  This further enhances the premium appeal of the BMW X3 interior.</p>
<p>All BMW 5 Series, BMW i5 and BMW M5 Sedan and Touring models will in
  future offer a very handy feature. A coat hook on the B-pillar trim,
  provided as standard, makes transporting jackets and coats
  particularly easy.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Improvements related to BMW Connected Drive.</strong>
  <br />From autumn 2025, the Charging Guide in the Explore tab of the
  My BMW app will offer relevant help on all aspects of charging – e.g.,
  “How do I charge?”, or “How do I optimise charging?” This helps to
  make charging stops as convenient and efficient as possible.</p>
<p>BMW Maps charge-optimised route planning for all-electric vehicles is
  now also available in BMW vehicles with Operating System 8 and 8.5 in
  Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Serbia and Singapore.</p>

  <strong>Munich.</strong> Electric drivetrain upgrades, new engine
  variants, as well as additional standard and optional equipment
  features will make the current BMW model range even more attractive
  and versatile in spring 2025. The use of new components for the power
  electronics and other measures designed to optimise efficiency have
  resulted in a considerably increased range for the all-electric
  BMW i5. Standard equipment on all BMW 5 Series models will soon
  include ambient lighting complete with a BMW Interaction Bar featuring
  a crystalline surface, lumbar support for both front seats as well as
  the Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. </p>
<p>Two new variants of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will become
  available in April 2025. The BMW X3 model range will likewise be
  expanded, with a powerful six-cylinder in-line diesel engine. Almost
  50 per cent higher charging rates – that’s the news for the plug-in
  hybrid variants of the BMW X1, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW 7
  Series and the BMW XM models. With the BMW Digital Key Plus, owners
  can, depending on the type of mobile device, activate up to 18 digital
  vehicle keys with individually configured access permissions. The new
  tyre repair kit Plus will become part of the standard equipment for
  selected BMW models from March 2025. It enables owners to continue
  their journey even with a tyre puncture. Adaptive LED Headlights will
  become part of the standard equipment for the BMW X5 and BMW X6 models
  in spring 2025. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW i5 and BMW i5 Touring now even more energy-efficient.</strong></p>
<p>From March 2025 the all-electric models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan and
  BMW 5 Series Touring will benefit from a number of technical advances
  that reduce their energy consumption. The result is a noticeably
  greater range, with an increase of up to 47 kilometres (depending on
  the model and equipment installed as part of an individual vehicle
  configuration). This owes much to the first ever use of silicon
  carbide semiconductor components in the power electronics (SiC
  converter) of the BMW i5 and to particularly low-rolling-resistance
  tyres fitted to aerodynamic alloy wheels. The optimised wheel bearings
  will also help save power.</p>
<p>19" aerodynamic wheels 1056 bi-colour are available for the
  first time as an option for the BMW i5 eDrive40 (combined, WLTP
  (EnVKV): energy consumption 18.0–17.9 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions 0 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class A) and the BMW i5 xDrive40
  (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 18.9–18.8 kWh/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 0 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class A).</p>
<p>
  <br />The optimisations for the new BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring (combined,
  WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 19.5–19.4 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions 0 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class A) lower WLTP energy
  consumption by up to 9 per cent (depending on model and equipment
  installed as part of an individual vehicle configuration), while the
  new BMW i5 eDrive40 saves up to 8 per cent. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Standard equipment on the BMW i5 M60 xDrive (combined, WLTP (EnVKV):
  energy consumption 19.5 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 0 g/km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> class A) now includes the M Sport package Pro. In
  addition, the BMW 5 Series models benefit from further interior
  upgrades. From now on, all models include the previously optional
  ambient lighting with the BMW Interaction Bar featuring a crystalline
  surface as standard. In addition, they now come with lumbar support
  for both front seats, as well as the Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker
  system. The switchgear in the doors has also been upgraded and is now
  finished in high-gloss Black. BMW Individual Merino Leather in
  Black/Dark Violet is available as a new option for customising the interior.</p>

<p>
  <strong>BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé: Two additional powertrain
  variants.<br /></strong>The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé model range
  available from March 2025 will include a new entry-level variant. The
  new BMW 216 Gran Coupé (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.4
  l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 145 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class E)
  offers a particularly attractive introduction to the world of hallmark
  BMW driving pleasure. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine has
  90 kW/122 hp of power and a peak torque of 230 Nm. The standard
  seven-speed double-clutch Steptronic transmission directs engine power
  to the front wheels. Accelerating the new BMW 216 Gran Coupé from 0 to
  100 km/h takes 9.9 seconds.</p>
<p>The new BMW 223 xDrive Gran Coupé (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel
  consumption 6.4–6.3 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 144 g/km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> class E) adds an all-wheel drive variant with 48-volt
  mild-hybrid technology to the range. Its four-cylinder petrol engine
  and integrated electric motor deliver a total system output of 160
  kW/218 hp. This powertrain adds to the car’s efficiency and is capable
  of particularly fast responses. The new BMW 223 xDrive Gran Coupé
  accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. Production of the two
  new <br />BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé models will start in March 2025 at
  the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, Germany. The BMW kidney Iconic Glow is
  available as part of the Innovation package and enables a purposeful
  customisation of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé’s exterior. It provides
  unique visuals, especially after dark. This option can also be ordered
  for the BMW 1 Series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW X3 40d xDrive: Especially powerful six-cylinder diesel.</strong>
  <strong>
    <br /></strong>A 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line diesel from the
  latest BMW Group engine generation will complement the BMW X3
  powertrain range from May 2025. It will make the new BMW X3 40d xDrive
  (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.7 l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions 177 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class G) the most powerful diesel
  variant of this premium executive Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). Its
  highly efficient powertrain offers 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, a
  combined output of 223 kW/303 hp and 670 Nm of peak torque. The
  system’s electric motor is integrated into the eight‑speed Steptronic
  transmission. The new BMW X3 40d xDrive takes 5.4 seconds to get to
  100 km/h from a standing start; its top speed is 245 km/h. It is
  produced at the BMW Group Plant Rosslyn in South Africa.<strong>
    <br />
    <br /></strong>
  <strong>Higher charging rates for everyday driving without generating
    local emissions.<br /></strong>A faster AC charging rate, increased
  from 7.4 kW to 11 kW, will result in significantly reduced charging
  times for various BMW plug-in hybrid models from March 2025. This will
  benefit the plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW X1, BMW 2 Series Active
  Tourer, BMW 7 Series and all BMW XM models. <strong>
    <br />
    <br /></strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Digital Key Plus as standard in the new BMW iX.</strong></p>
<p>In the new BMW iX, the BMW Digital Key Plus will become the driver’s
  first choice for vehicle access from March 2025. The package also
  includes a physical key, a Setup Card and a Service Card. The new
  Setup Card makes installing the Digital Key Plus on a smartphone
  easier than ever. Users can simply hold the card close to their mobile
  device or scan the QR code on the back. Once activated, drivers can
  safely share the Digital Key Plus with others, using a simple text
  message. Depending on the mobile device, up to 18 digital keys can be
  activated soon. Different roles and permissions can be set for the
  vehicle when sharing the keys. For example, the vehicle’s acceleration
  and top speed can be limited – a particularly useful feature for
  novice drivers. Moreover, the BMW Digital Key Plus enables additional
  control functions from the vehicle’s vicinity, such as having the BMW
  iX enter or exit a parking space via the My BMW app. And if there ever
  is a need to hand over a physical key, for example for service visits
  or in the event of a breakdown, the new Service Card can be activated
  as a full-fledged key with a single click.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Other digital improvements and enhancements.<br /></strong>The
  popular YouTube* video app has been available for vehicles with BMW
  Operating System 9 since January 2025, provided the customer has
  activated BMW Digital Premium. Furthermore, the Personal eSIM in BMW
  Operating System 9 can now be activated for improved telephony and a
  WiFi hotspot in the vehicle. Vehicles with BMW Operating System 8.5
  benefit from a more intuitive BMW Maps interface.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Tyre repair kit Plus: Remaining mobile the easy way. </strong></p>
<p>The new tyre repair kit Plus, part of the standard equipment for
  selected BMW models from March 2025, enables customers to continue
  their journey even with a tyre puncture. This requires just a few
  simple steps that are explained in the vehicle’s Integrated Owner’s
  Handbook. The one-piece tyre repair kit includes a magnet and
  connector pin to secure it to the hub of the affected wheel. A hose
  then fills the tyre with air and aerosol sealant using an integrated
  compressor. Once a sufficient tyre pressure above 1.5 bar has been
  achieved, the journey can be continued, with the device safely
  attached to the wheel hub. Drivers can now</p>
<p>* Not available in the countries/regions of Guadeloupe, Guam,
  Macedonia, Martinique, Montenegro, La Réunion, Saint-Martin.</p>
<p>cover a range of up to 200 kilometres at a top speed of 80 km/h. This
  should easily get them to the nearest service centre. From spring 2025
  the BMW X1, BMW X2, BMW iX and various models of the BMW 2 Series
  Active Tourer will come with this equipment feature. The tyre repair
  kit Plus is also included with the models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan
  (except for models with standard 19-inch light alloy wheels
  Triplex-spoke style 933 Silver).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7 and BMW M5: Added equipment.</strong>
  <br />The comprehensive standard equipment on the BMW X5 and BMW X6
  will from spring 2025 include adaptive matrix LED headlights. The BMW
  X7 will always come with the Parking Assistant Professional. Standard
  equipment for the M60i xDrive powertrain version of all three model
  series will also include the M Sport package Pro, the Harman Kardon
  surround sound system and sun protection glazing.<br />
  <br /></p>
<p>The BMW M5 will also benefit from more comprehensive equipment. Two
  new upholstery options are available to add special accents to the
  interior. In addition to BMW Individual Taupe Grey/Deep Lagoon Merino
  Leather, BMW Individual Black/Dark Violet Merino Leather is available
  as a new colourway. In all BMW M5 variants, as well as in all BMW 5
  Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring models, the trim and switches
  for the power windows, mirror adjustment and tailgate button are
  finished in high-gloss Black with a 3D effect as standard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>New light alloy wheels for BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW X1.</strong></p>
<p>17-inch light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 875 will be available for
  various BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW X1 models from March 2025.</p>

  <strong>Munich.</strong> The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé has made its
  first public appearance in a highly exclusive setting. BMW presented
  the new edition of its elegantly sporty four-door model at ApeFest
  2024 in Lisbon just two days after the official start of
  communication. The car’s world premiere was one of the highlights of
  the event, which is staged annually by the Bored Ape Yacht Club
  (BAYC). BAYC is one of the best-known non-fungible token (NFT)
  collections from American company Yuga Labs and comprises a total of
  10,000 unique digital collector’s items featuring pictures of cartoon
  apes. ApeFest is primarily put on for the holders of these digital
  goods – a Web3 community boasting high levels of technological
  affinity, remarkable creative powers and strong innovative spirit,
  making its members a perfect match for the BMW brand. At ApeFest they
  come together to connect, shape the future of Web3 technology and
  enjoy access to exclusive digital content and experiences that allow
  them to come up with new business ideas too, among other things. BMW
  once again partnered the event this year.</p>
<p>“We are delighted that ApeFest has provided us with the ideal setting
  for presenting the progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series
  Gran Coupé to a tech-loving audience made up of digital enthusiasts
  and early adopters,” explained Stefan Ponikva, Vice President BMW
  Group Customer Formats and BMW Brand Experience. “The community’s
  response to the digital innovations is phenomenal. Not only did we
  manage to bring the Dookey Dash: Unclogged game – a community
  favourite – into the vehicle, we also managed to bring the vehicle
  into the game as an in-game car.”</p>
<p>New BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé starred in art contest for the BAYC
  community: one-off model unveiled at ApeFest 2024.</p>
<p>The ApeFest community had a unique opportunity to experience the
  second-generation BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé up close ahead of its
  official launch. Two specimens of the compact four-door model – both
  featuring an in-car gaming experience – were on show, together with a
  concept car in a unique design that was the product of an online art contest.</p>
<p>In the run-up to ApeFest, Yuga Labs launched an online art contest
  within the community with the assistance of BMW. Rida, an artist and
  3D graphics expert from Dubai, came out on top in the contest against
  four other contenders.</p>
<p>With its clean lines, golden accents and rich textures, the exterior
  of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé he designed in the ApeCar look
  emphasises the vehicle’s elegant sportiness and premium appeal, while
  a mosaic pattern made up of cartoon ape silhouettes delivers a message
  of community. BMW added bespoke BMW M Performance Parts to give the
  one-off model a sharper appearance for an even more dynamic and
  progressive feel.</p>
<p>Following the spectacular reveal at this year’s ApeFest, Bored Ape or
  Mutant Ape NFT holders had the opportunity to register their interest
  in buying the unique model. Once the future owner of the ApeCar has
  been chosen from all the prospective buyers, BMW will build the
  customised BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé in a configuration adapted to the
  buyer’s home market and will also equip it with a selection of
  exclusive digital features.</p>
<p>New title for action-packed in-car gaming – “Dookey Dash: Unclogged”.</p>
<p>BMW capitalised on the avant-garde mood at ApeFest to present a beta
  version of the new title “Dookey Dash: Unclogged” in collaboration
  with the game’s creator Yuga Labs. The updated version of this
  action-packed endless runner game can now also be played on iOS and
  Android mobile devices and will be rolled out in the coming months as
  part of the BMW Digital Premium package for all vehicles with
  BMW Operating System 9. A special gimmick has been included that
  allows players to select a 3D model of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
  as a speedy underwater car and then race though a fictional underworld
  with it. Players chasing the high score have to avoid obstacles, break
  through barriers and collect boosters and power-ups.</p>
<p>This innovative form of in-car gaming offered in current BMW models
  allows the occupants to pass the time by playing casual games on the
  control display while the vehicle is parked. Dookey Dash: Unclogged is
  available as part of the BMW Digital Premium package along with a
  dozen other video games and is imported over the air from the
  BMW ConnectedDrive Store. ApeFest attendees had the opportunity to
  test out the hit game ahead of its official release.</p>
<p>BMW Lifestyle with exclusive, customised ApeFest collection.</p>
<p>Customisation means a lot to the BAYC community, so BMW Lifestyle
  came up with a special design for selected products from the current
  collection. This cult <a href="https://lifestyle.bmw.com/en/bmw-3.0-mechanics-jacket/701227448-anthracitedenim.html">BMW
    Mechanics Jacket</a>, which serves as a club jacket, is a
  particularly noteworthy highlight. Members get an interactive patch
  for the jacket allowing selected interaction with BMW. This smart
  fashion piece also includes a built-in NFC chip that enables the
  members to connect with one another.</p>
<p>The exclusive articles were available to buy from the BMW Lifestyle
  pop-up store at the event. The products could also be personalised
  with a print gun to make them truly unique.</p>
<p>BMW M Driving Experience scores a hit with specially developed
  version of BMW M Mixed Reality (MMR).</p>
<p>ApeFest 2024 also provided the venue for the premiere of a new and
  innovative version of BMW M Mixed Reality – a one-of-a-kind driving
  experience in which the physical and virtual worlds merge into one for
  the driver. Thanks to the very latest VR and GPS technology, the
  vehicle itself becomes the controller and can be guided through a
  virtual world by the driver.</p>
<p>The existing MMR was further refined for ApeFest and augmented with
  3D elements from a partner for the first time. BAYC-specific content,
  such as apes, unicorns and crocodiles, was added to the mixed-reality
  experience with the help of the software specialists from Yuga Labs.</p>
<p>The ApeFest attendees set off on a captivating <a>phygital</a> tour
  through the pulsating cityscape of Lisbon in BMW M models that had
  been specially designed for the event. The experience allowed them to
  enjoy pushing the BMW M2 (fuel consumption, combined in the WLTP

  according to Pkw-EnVKV: G) models to their limits in the virtual world.</p>
<p>ApeFest attendees were also treated to the sight of a heavily
  modified BMW M2 Ice Racer. It was on display in the Convento Do Beato,
  the main exhibition area of ApeFest, where this ambassador of the BMW
  M Driving Experience’s ultra-exclusive winter programme attracted a
  great deal of attention. The highlight event at the BMW Group’s winter
  test centre in Arjeplog, Sweden combines drift training on ice with an
  individually tailored programme of accompanying activities and can be
  booked exclusively by members of the BAYC community.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fuel consumption, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, electric power
  consumption and operating range figures are determined according to
  the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable. They
  refer to vehicles in the German market. Where a range is shown, the
  figures take into account the impact of any optional extras.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All values were calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. WLTP
  values are taken as the basis for determining vehicle-related taxes or
  other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  as well as eligibility for any applicable vehicle-specific subsidies.

The second model generation of the 4-door model now lends even greater emphasis to these hallmark BMW qualities. A clear increase in presence and dynamic performance in the design gives the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a particularly extroverted appearance. An entirely renewed drive portfolio, extensively enhanced suspension technology and innovative systems for automated driving and parking ensure unique driving pleasure.]]></pp:summary><description><![CDATA[<div class="imported-article"><p>The progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is
  evident in the area of digitalisation, too. The user experience in the
  redesigned interior is defined by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect
  and a wide range of digital services and in-car gaming based on BMW
  Operating System 9.</p>
<p>The new BMW 2 Series Coupé will be produced at the BMW Group’s plant
  in Leipzig, with the market launch starting in March 2025.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Sporty elegance in the hallmark style of the BMW brand.</strong></p>
<p>The exterior design of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is defined by
  an expressive front section, a dynamically elongated silhouette and a
  powerfully designed rear. This conveys even more clearly the sporty
  elegance that is so characteristic of a BMW Gran Coupé.</p>
<p>The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights
  featuring an innovative structure of vertical and diagonal bars inside
  and the large lower air inlet give the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a
  low-slung, road-hugging appearance.</p>
<p>The standard LED headlights comprise vertical elements for the
  daytime running lights and turn indicators. Adaptive LED headlights
  with glare-free matrix high beam, cornering light function and blue
  accentuations are available as an option. The BMW Iconic Glow option
  including contour line lighting for the BMW radiator grille will be
  available from March 2025.</p>
<p>The side view is defined by the long bonnet, short overhangs and a
  gently flowing roofline. A pronounced indentation in the transition to
  the rear emphasises the athletically shaped shoulder section. At the
  rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly
  embossed number 2 highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink. The
  rear derives its powerful, modern appearance from an especially ample
  surface structure broken up by just a few lines, flat lights with a
  striking notch, and invisibly integrated exhaust tailpipes (exception:
  BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé). Further accentuations for refined dynamic
  performance are provided by the M Sport package and the M Sport
  package Pro.</p>
<p>The range of exterior finishes includes two solid and seven metallic
  finishes, along with four BMW Individual finishes and a choice of
  numerous BMW Individual special finishes. A contrasting high-gloss
  black finish is available for the roof.</p>
<p>The new edition of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé has been increased in
  length by 20 millimetres to 4 546 millimetres, while the wheelbase
  measures 2 670 millimetres. The width of the vehicle is
  1 800 millimetres, and the height has been increased by 25 millimetres
  to 1 445 millimetres.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Leather-free interior in a high-class premium ambience.</strong></p>
<p>The newly designed interior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is
  entirely leather-free as standard. The Veganza/Alcantara trim is
  available as an option, combined with hand-sewn contrasting seams for
  the instrument panel. The dynamically backlit interior trims made of
  milled aluminium likewise contribute to the car’s refined and athletic
  premium ambience. BMW Curved Display and the newly designed gear
  selector underline the progressive character of the interior.</p>
<p>Newly designed seats provide a high level of comfort on long
  journeys. Optional sports seats are offered in Econeer, while M sports
  seats are also available. There are seat heating and electrically
  operated adjustment options for all versions. The sports seats can
  also be optionally combined with a massage function, while a lumbar
  support is available for the M Sport seats. The standard sports
  steering wheel can be exchanged for an M leather steering wheel, which
  has also been redesigned. This is part of the M Sport package and
  features shift paddles for manual gear changes. An interaction airbag
  between the driver and front passenger now contributes to optimised
  occupant protection as standard. The rear seat backrest offers a
  40: 20: 40 split as standard, while the storage volume is 430 litres
  (BMW 220 Gran Coupé, BMW 220d Gran Coupé: 360 litres).</p>
<p>
  <strong>Top model with racing DNA and outstanding performance.</strong></p>
<p>The BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption according
  to WLTP: 8.2 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  according to WLTP: 185 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class: G) is at the top of
  the model range and features significantly enhanced performance
  characteristics. Powered by a 221 kW/300 hp 4-cylinder engine, the BMW
  M performance automobile accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
  4.9 seconds. An M Technology package for racetrack-oriented
  performance, including additional lightweight construction measures,
  19-inch forged M light-alloy wheels and an M compound brake system
  offering particularly high deceleration performance, is also offered
  exclusively for the new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé.</p>
<p>
  <strong>M Sport Package with adaptive M suspension and sport steering.</strong></p>
<p>A standard feature of the new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé offered as
  part of the optional M Sport package for all other model variants, the
  adaptive M suspension enhances both agility and long-distance comfort
  by means of variable, mechanically controlled and frequency-selective
  shock absorbers. Pressure peaks within the shock absorbers are
  smoothed out by means of additional valves acting on the traction
  side. With the Adaptive M suspension, the vehicle is lowered by up to
  8 millimetres and also includes sports steering.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New generation of engines, 7-speed Steptronic transmission as standard.</strong></p>
<p>In addition, the drive portfolio for the market launch includes
  advanced 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines with 125 kW/170 hp in
  the new BMW 220 Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption according to
  WLTP: 5.8 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  according to WLTP: 131 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class: D) and 120 kW/163
  hp in the new BMW 220d Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption according
  to WLTP: 4.6 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  according to WLTP: 121 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class: D) and 110 kW/150
  hp in the new BMW 218d Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption according
  to WLTP: 5.0 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  according to WLTP: 132 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class: D). All engines
  transfer their power to the road as standard via a 7-speed Steptronic
  transmission with double clutch. The drives of the BMW 220 Gran Coupé
  and the BMW 220d Gran Coupé are electrified with 48-volt mild hybrid technology.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Improved body rigidity, further developed chassis.</strong></p>
<p>The increased rigidity of the body structure and chassis connections
  helps the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé achieve improved agility,
  steering precision and cornering dynamics. The further refinement of
  the chassis includes optimised kinematics and new shock absorber
  technology. The increased caster offset of the front wheels ensures
  stable straight-line driving and optimised steering feedback.</p>
<p>Standard features also include directly controlled wheel slip
  limitation, an integrated braking system and 17-inch light alloy
  wheels (BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé: 18-inch). The M Sport package
  includes Adaptive M suspension with a lowered suspension, sports
  steering and 18-inch light alloy wheels. Optional extras include light
  alloy wheels up to 19 inches in diameter and an M Sport brake system.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Modern systems for partially automated driving and parking.</strong></p>
<p>The standard and optional driver assistance systems available for the
  new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé set standards among the competition in
  terms of functional range and reliability. Standard features include
  the Driving Assistant with front collision warning, Lane Departure
  Warning, exit warning and Speed Limit Info, as well as the Parking
  Assistant with Reversing Assistant.</p>
<p>Optional highlights include the Steering and Lane Control Assistant,
  the automatic Speed Limit Assist and a route speed control when using
  Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function. Parking Assistant
  Professional is likewise available for the models BMW 220 Gran Coupé
  and BMW 220d Gran Coupé: This allows drivers to control parking
  manoeuvres from outside their vehicle using a smartphone and the My
  BMW app.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Extensive standard equipment and high-quality options.</strong></p>
<p>The significantly expanded range of standard equipment for the new
  BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé also includes BMW Live Cockpit Plus featuring
  the cloud-based navigation system BMW Maps. New optional equipment
  packages allow for targeted customisation. For example the Innovation
  package includes BMW Live Cockpit Professional with BMW Head-Up
  Display and Augmented View on the Control Display, as well as Parking
  Assistant Plus.</p>
<p>Components of the Premium package are the telephony option with
  wireless charging, Comfort Access, logo projection from the exterior
  mirrors, automatically dimming interior mirror and Adaptive LED
  Headlights. The programme of optional extras also includes a 2-zone
  automatic air conditioning, a panoramic glass sunroof and the
  harman/kardon hi-fi speaker system.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Digital Premium.</strong></p>
<p>The BMW iDrive based on BMW Operating System 9 is available in the
  new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé for intuitive and convenient operation of
  vehicle functions. QuickSelect enables all the main vehicle functions
  to be accessed directly without having to switch to a submenu. This
  means that the cockpit of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is
  consistently designed for multimodal operation using touch functions,
  voice control and multifunction buttons on the steering wheel.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the BMW ConnectedDrive upgrades enable customers to add
  selected vehicle functions for a specific period of time. The new BMW
  Digital Premium is also available for the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
  from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. This offers country-specific
  entertainment services such as music and video streaming, news and
  gaming, additional My Modes, and also advanced navigation functions
  such as Satellite View and 3D building display, as well as the new
  Curve-Ahead View in conjunction with the BMW Head-Up Display.</p>
<p>Remote software upgrades allow free quality enhancements and
  additional functions to be downloaded to the vehicle “over the air”.
  Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is
  available as standard. With BMW ID and My BMW app, users can
  personalise their user experience, while with the optional BMW Digital
  Key Plus, compatible smartphones and smart watches can take on the
  function of the vehicle key.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All the model variants, equipment levels, technical specifications,
  consumption and emission values described correspond to what is
  available on the automotive market in Germany. Dimensions refer to a
  vehicle fitted with basic equipment in Germany, depending on the
  selected wheel and tyre size as well as selected optional equipment.
  These may change according to how the car is configured.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Official figures for fuel consumption, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and
  power consumption were measured using the stipulated method and comply
  with Regulation VO (EC) 715/2007 as amended. Where a range is shown,
  the WLTP figures take into account the impact of any optional extras.</p>
<p>Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is
