2016 BMW 2-Series

The 2016 BMW 2-Series is the next compact luxury performance vehicle that follows the concept of marrying full athleticism with everyday usability. The two-door model is available as a coupe and convertible and is designed to be a driver’s car, as its dynamic character pairs well with comfort. This is because 2-Series possesses all qualities of rear-wheel drive architecture while sporting high-performance engine options that place it several notches higher in its class.

But of course, to set the 2016 BMW 2-Series apart is the range of engines that the car will be available with. The base 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine chews out 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and should be able to muster up enough oomph for daily driving or spirited back-road fun. In fact, direct injection promises to improve fuel consumption efficiency, along with a combined rating of 26 mpg.

BMW 2-Series has an exterior design that is sporty and sleek. The compact machine dimensions with an aggressive, sharp-cut front end give it a better road presence. The entire length of the car measures 174.7 inches hence easy to navigate through the urban jungle. Its wider stance at 69.8 inches will instead give it stability at higher speeds. The 17-inch alloy wheels are part of this particular standard within the car, creating a good grip on the road while giving a sporting look to the car.

Inside, the 2016 BMW 2-Series has a sophisticated interior surrounded by premium materials, with an emphasis on the driver. The passenger room is four, and all the trims get leatherette upholstery. Front seats provide ample support for longer drives. However, the overall look of the interior is both comfort and a convenience provider for passengers. Other notable features include automatic dual-zone climate control, a push-start button, and an electronic handbrake to make operation easier.

Infotainment features a 6.5-inch screen display. The infotainment system for this 2-Series is USB-compatible, supports auxiliary input, and ensures modern ways of connectivity by using smartphones or other devices with both front and rear speakers that give good clear sounds.

One of its major areas of strength is safety, and the 2016 BMW 2-Series hosts a wide array of advanced features such as six airbags, ABS, traction control, hill start assist, and stability control. Children’s security will be taken care of by ISOFIX child seat anchors and speed-sensing auto door locks in a family owning the vehicle. Protection from theft is ensured through the anti-theft alarm system and immobilizer.

The 2-Series, in terms of handling, really doesn’t disappoint. Independent front suspension, multi-link rear setup, and unit precision electric power steering make for a responsive and engaging automobile to drive. Even when capabilities are boasted about in different types of driving conditions, ventilated disc brakes provide the means.

Luxury and high performance go hand in hand, and the 2016 BMW 2-Series balances it all quite well, earning itself one of the top spots among compact luxury coupes and convertibles.
