BMW 2 Series Coupe here end 2021

THE ALL-NEW BMW 2 SERIES COUPÉ made its world premiere last week and will arrive in Australia at the end of 2021.

The new model opens a new chapter for the BMW brand while continuing its rich tradition of sport-focused compact models that began 55 years ago with the legendary BMW 02.

The new 2 Series Coupe seamlessly brings together an athletic design, powerful engines and highly sophisticated chassis technology to deliver an engaging driving experience.

Perhaps not our preferred colour

Components and technology sourced from the new BMW 4 Series combine with the model-specific development program to lay the foundations for outstanding performance attributes.

The new model features a BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine at the top of the line-up and fitment of BMW’s advanced xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The latter marks a first for the 2 Series Coupé model.

As well as notable gains in dynamic prowess, the new BMW 2 Series Coupé also offers a premium cabin ambience and cutting-edge innovations in the areas of operation and connectivity.

Advances made over the predecessor model are also reflected in the availability of a wider range of sophisticated driver assistance systems.

How many more ways can the kidney grille be reinterpreted?
