2022 BMW 2-Series

The BMW 2-Series is offered in two trim levels: 228i and M235i. The 228i starts at $36,695 including destination, and the M235i is priced at $46,495.

The 228i is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder, and the M235 gets a high-output version of the same engine. Both models have similar fuel efficiency, as well.

All-wheel drive is optional ($2,000) on the 228i and standard on the M235i. Both models use an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2-Series is BMW's smallest car line, which becomes evident in the rear seat. The Gran Coupe can seat five, though four is really the limit. However, the trunk is surprisingly spacious at 15.1 cubic feet.

The 2-Series Gran Coupe offers a nice bundle of standard driver assistance features. Each model gets blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and front and rear parking sensors.

The $950 Driving Assistance Package adds adaptive cruise control and an automatic parking system. BMW's Surround View camera isn't offered for the 2-Series.

The sole infotainment system offers an 8.8-inch touchscreen, navigation, 10 speakers, four USB ports, satellite and HD radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Gesture control for the touchscreen is available for $190.

The 228i starts out with simulated leather upholstery, 10-way power front seats with driver memory, illuminated interior trim, automatic wipers, heated power-folding side mirrors, and 17-inch wheels.

The Convenience Package ($1,470) adds a panoramic sunroof, proximity key access, and power lumbar controls for the front seats. These items are also available in the $3,770 Premium Package, along with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive full LED headlights, a head-up display, a universal home remote, and ambient interior lighting. Remote start is a $350 standalone option.

Buyers with a sporting side have two choices. The M Sport Package ($3,950) offers a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels, and gloss black exterior trim. The M Sport with Dynamic Handling Package ($4,950) also furnishes adaptive suspension dampers, upgraded brakes, special transmission tuning, an aerodynamic body kit, and a sport steering wheel.

The M235i packs the 301-hp engine, AWD, and the M Sport equipment as standard. The Convenience Package is also included, and the front M Sport seat can be added for $750. Others options are shared with the 228i.
