The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé [Photo Gallery]

An entirely renewed drive portfolio, extensively enhanced suspension technology and innovative systems for automated driving and parking ensure unique driving pleasure.

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.

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.

Sporty elegance in the hallmark style of the BMW brand.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Leather-free interior in a high-class premium ambience.

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.

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).

Top model with racing DNA and outstanding performance.

The BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 8.2 – 7.5 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions: 185 – 170 g/km according to WLTP; CO₂ classes: G – F) 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 BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé.

M Sport Package with adaptive M suspension and sport steering.

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.

New generation of engines, 7-speed Steptronic transmission as standard.

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: 5.7 – 5.2 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions: 129 – 119 g/km according to WLTP; CO₂ class: D) and 120 kW/163 hp in the new BMW 220d Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 4.6 – 4.2 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions: 120 – 110 g/km according to WLTP; CO₂ classes: D – C) and 110 kW/150 hp in the new BMW 218d Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 5.0 – 4.6 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions: 130 – 120 g/km according to WLTP; CO₂ 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.

Improved body rigidity, further developed chassis.

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.

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.

Modern systems for partially automated driving and parking.

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.

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.

BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Digital Premium.

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.

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.
