The signature BMW Iconic Glow Kidney grille now introduced on the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is always eye-catching, especially after dark. The headlights protrude a long way into the side sections. Segment best Adaptive LED headlights with glare-free matrix high beam feature blue accents and a cornering light function.
The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights and a large, black lower air inlet give the front section of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a shark like appearance. This sporty look is further highlighted by vertical side openings. The sporty appearance of the front section is complemented by the elegant lines of the side view - The long bonnet, short overhangs, wide wheelbase and recessed passenger compartment create proportions in hallmark brand style, while the roofline flows smoothly into the rear, thereby enclosing the frameless doors. At the rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly embossed “2” highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink.
A particularly generous surface structure broken up by a small number of lines gives the rear of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a powerful, contemporary look. The wide rear stance, streamlined taillight design and the lower section of the rear apron finished in high-gloss black give the rear end a particularly sporty and light appearance. A fresh accentuation is also provided by the flat rear lights, whose contours feature a striking indentation in the lower section. Vertically aligned LED elements in the rear light and the turn indicators echo the design of the light sources inside the headlights. The tailpipes of the exhaust system are invisibly integrated in the rear apron to give the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a sleek appearance.
The standard M Sport package conveys the dynamic charisma of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé vigorously. Its exterior features include a front apron with particularly large air intakes, M specific side sills, the M High-gloss Shadow Line and a powerfully modelled rear apron with a black diffuser insert. In addition, the 18-inch M light alloy wheels with a Yspoke design and tubeless tires are available as standard in conjunction with the M Sport package. Bold in design, the alloy wheels add visual depth and enhance the car’s dynamic silhouette.
In its entirely redesigned interior, the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé combines the brand's hallmark driver orientation with a modern premium character that is defined by precisely crafted materials and an extensive range of standard equipment. High-quality surfaces and decorative mouldings characterise theambience, as does the redesigned center console and the consistent digitalisation. The Widescreen BMW Curved Display and the latest version of BMW iDrive with QuickSelect based on BMW Operating System 9 are designed for operation via a touch display and natural language. The Illuminated Aluminium Hexacube Décor creates an immersive ambiance throughout the interior. This further contributes to the sporty, detailed and refined premium ambience in the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé. The dynamically backlit interior trims underscore the Welcome and Goodbye Animations in the interior and create varying lighting moods while driving, depending on the My Mode selected.
The interior of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is crafted with sustainable materials for a modern, conscious drive. It comes with a leather-free interior, including seat surfaces, door trims, and the instrument panel. Newly designed Sport seats with adjustable under thigh support, electric adjustment, memory function for the driver and raised side bolsters offer a high level of long-distance comfort. The standard sport seats are upholstered in Veganza Perforated leather in Mocha or Oyster colour combinations. The latest version of the M Leather steering wheel features illuminated multifunction buttons, a particularly striking three-spoke design and shift paddles in black with Sport BOOST function.

The new 2 Series Gran Coupé also comes with a Head-Up Display with Augmented View, exclusive to this segment, which delivers real-time driving information directly into the driver’s line of sight, fusing functionality with futurism.
With a noticeable increase in dynamics and efficiency, the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé sets standards among the competition. A completely reengineered drivetrain ensures superior driving pleasure and exemplary efficiency. Thanks to the unrivalled BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the petrol engine melds maximum power with exemplary efficiency and offers spontaneous responsiveness even at low engine speeds. The 1.5-litre petrol engine of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé produces an output of 115 kW / 156 hp and a maximum torque of 230 Nm at 1,500 – 4,600 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in 8.6 seconds with a top speed of 230 km/h. The left-hand gearshift paddle can also be used to activate the Sport Boost function for particularly dynamic acceleration manoeuvres: this switches all drive systems to maximum sportiness and unleashes a dramatic visual cue that signals that it’s time to go.
