Perfected inside and out, the 2015 BMW 2-Series answers exactly how an automobile must be designed-to combine performance, luxury, and practicality to develop a thrilling and involved driving experience. Available in two main models-the 228i and the M235i-the 2-series offers the buyer some more versatility by presenting them with the availability of either a sporty yet efficient turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine or a stronger and more aggressive 3.0L inline-6 for the M235i variant.
Visually, the coupe will draw attention: its styling lines are sharp and aggressive. With these dimensions and powerful lines, it is a hot-looking car on the road. There is good material used inside the cabin: from the quality of the interior leatherette to the possibility to endow it with genuine leather. There are four passengers who can settle here, though, but the seats in the rear for taller adults will not feel comfortable there.
Performance-wise, it’s very potent and precise. Base engine power is respectable at 240 hp, giving the 228i sufficient zip for both everyday driving and spirited road use. There’s more to be had in the form of the M235i’s 320 horsepower, if you want it. The 8-speed automatic transmission would be quick and smooth in its shifts, but for those enthusiasts who want a more involved drive, the manual gearbox option is available for the M235i.
The best feature handling is provided, where the ride features better steering response, responsive brakes, and the adaptive suspension system that offers comfort during tuning the corners. The fuel economy of 2-Series is impressive; it can reach up to 26mpg. The car would easily be chosen for travel in both the urban and highway conditions.
The safety features are never compromised as the car includes airbags in multiple numbers, stability control, traction control, ABS, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. The infotainment system with a 6.5-inch display can be termed as giving users all the necessary connectivity options, though it would not have mattered even if it had been bigger.
All in all, the 2015 BMW 2-Series is the culmination of luxurious compact coupes: perhaps the best amalgamation of power, precision, and premium features bound to thrill both performance and style seekers.
