Power and Performance
The BMW 228i xDrive model is powered by the 2.0-liter four-cylinder version of BMW’s “B” modular engine family, delivering an output of 228 hp @ 5,000 - 6,000 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,450 - 4,500 rpm. Torque is transferred through the standard 8-speed Sport automatic transmission and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system to the wheels. The 228i xDrive Gran Coupe accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph when the vehicle is equipped with all-season tires and 151 mph when equipped with performance tires.
The BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe ups the performance quotient by delivering 301 hp @ 5,000 - 6,250 rpm and 332 lb-ft of torque @ 1,750 - 4,500 rpm from a tuned version of the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder modular engine. A reinforced crankshaft featuring larger diameter main bearings, new pistons and modified connecting rods allow the engine to handle the higher levels of power.
Interior Design
The interior of the first ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe combines a sporting focus, upscale materials and a use of space designed with supporting the driver on exhilarating drives while providing comfort and space for long-distance journeys.
Details such as standard backlit interior trim and grain effects on the steering wheel, instrument panel and doors and contrast seams on the dashboard add modern and premium quality touches to the four-door coupe. The typical BMW interior design has controls geared to the driver and grouped together in functional clusters for easy operability.
The standard illuminated “Boston” trim features six different colors for the lighting effect. As well as choosing their preferred color, the driver can adjust the brightness of the ambient lighting to their tastes.
