Key Changes Coming to the BMW 2 Series

The BMW 2 Series has long been a favorite among driving enthusiasts with its engaging rear-wheel drive dynamics and powerful engine options packed into a compact sedan. BMW is giving the 2 Series a refresh to make it even more appealing while retaining the characteristics that have made it so popular. Just a short drive from Monrovia, BMW fans in the City of Industry will be excited to learn more about the changes coming to the 2 Series.

The BMW 2 Series will continue to offer potent turbocharged engines, now aided by 48-volt mild-hybrid technology for a boost in performance and efficiency. The entry 230i will get a 2.0-liter turbo inline-four producing 265 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The M240i steps up to a 3.0-liter turbo inline-6, making an impressive 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. BMW's eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive will remain standard, with xDrive all-wheel drive available. These powertrain enhancements should provide the 2 Series with even more thrilling acceleration while using less fuel.

The 2 Series is also in line for updated exterior styling. Slimmer headlights and taillights, more sculpted bumpers, and fresh wheel designs will give it a sleeker, more modern appearance while optimizing aerodynamics. Inside the cabin, the coupe will receive BMW's latest iDrive nine infotainment system displayed on a large, curved touchscreen. New sports seats promise improved comfort and support. LA area drivers will appreciate that the 2 Series continues to offer a usable back seat and trunk, making it practical as a daily driver.

Despite the updates, BMW aims to keep the 2 Series true to its roots as a compact rear-wheel drive performance coupe. Enthusiasts living in places like Monrovia will be glad to hear the car will retain its balanced chassis and engaging road manners. Advanced traction and stability control systems will enhance its handling prowess.

The refreshed BMW 2 Series looks to improve upon an already impressive package with meaningful enhancements to its design, technology, and performance. It promises to continue delivering driving thrills in a premium, practical coupe that serves equally well for spirited canyon runs and comfortable commutes.
