New 2022 BMW 2 Series Unveiled

The new BMW 2 Series has been unveiled with a slew of extensive changes to its visual appeal in and out. The new 2022 BMW 2 Series will be offered in two different versions – the BMW 230i with rear wheel drive and BMW M240i xDrive with all-wheel drive, both of which will be two-door coupes.

2022 BMW 2 Series: Exterior

BMW has extensively tweaked the exterior design of the 2 Series. There is a wider turbine-themed double kidney grille with vertical air flaps, which comes with chrome surrounds in 230i and cerium grey touches in M240i. The car also features revised headlamps and tail lamps with curved layouts and full LED arrangement.

The new BMW 2 Series has a long hood and short overhangs and trunk lid, with a sharply curved roof line giving it a traditional silhouette of a coupe. While the 230i sits on 18-inch wheels, the M240i comes equipped with bigger 19-inch M-Sport wheels. The M240i also has a different sportier design for the front and rear bumpers, with both of them getting blacked out lip spoilers.

BMW is also offering an optional live cockpit professional upgrade, which will bring in a bigger 12.3-inch full TFT instrument console and slightly larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
