New generation
New look
New motor & performance
New interior & tech
What’s under the skin
This, like the X1, rides on a MINI chassis
So it’s FWD-based BUT, also like the X1, xDrive std
Engine
Due to the MINI underpinnings the engine is mounted transverse
2.0T 4 cylinder
312 hp
Same 295 lbft as normal X2
Trans
7 speed DCT…very Mini
Great when you’re on it, less great when casual
Performance
0-60 in 5.2 seconds
Sounds pretty cool
Reminds me of the JCW character I love so much
Looks
Looks VERY baby X6…actually kinda like it
The grille bleeds into lower fascia…classic
Illuminated grille surround
Radar detector in grille (5 series)
New running lights from the X5/6 and new 4 series
A very aggressive face for sure
20 in wheels with the M logos
Red or blue brakes
1999 honda accord style door handles
Profile is pretty clean
Rear design is more extreme
WILD rear wing
Taillights feel almost angel eyes
Center roundel is trunk release
Quad tips…not a full M car
M logo before 35i is way bigger (saw that in 5)
Size
BIG changes for this year…and i do mean big
7.6 in longer than last year
2 in longer than X1
2.5 in taller than last year
1 in wider than last year
Trunk
25.3 cuft
Actually pretty big - same as X1
Underfloor storage
51 cuft with seats down
X1 does 57 (due to roof)
Rear seats
In the X1 I was actually pretty comfy
This may be 2 in longer but not exactly roomy
Headroom is an issue
amenities*
Pano roof
Got it - doesnt open
Front seats
Heated and cooled?
Heated steering wheel
Memory seats
Seat design for M pro package is SICC
Blue stitshc, perforation, logo light
Interior design
VERY X1 feeling, which is good
Bowers and Wilkins cool speaker covers
Ambient light everywhere
Newer M sport steeringwheel is cool
Alcantara dash option
iX style center console
Not a lot of covered storage
Open underneath
Tech
HUD option?
10.25 in cluster - loads of customizability
10.7 in center screen
iDrive 9

Wireless acp
Adaptive content
Wireless charger
My FAVORITE thing
Lights, seatbelts, etc
