I really don't understand why people think it's ugly. This looks exactly like I expected a gran coupé version of the 2 series to look with BMW's new design language. Granted the old design language did look better imo, but only slightly, and the new one does look more modern. The old X5? Yes that was a minger. But this? I really don't understand it.

I owned this for 4 months already and every day, can’t wait for the day to start, get in the car, drive on the country road, spend 45 minutes of my precious life in this 218i drive, just for a cup of Americano at the nearest CBTL. It makes my day already

Cheers for this just bought a 12 month old one yesterday. Pick it up next Tuesday thought i would treat myself having retired from work late last year

I went for a test drive on Sunday in one of these and I was that impressed I put my order in there and then. I’ve ordered the colour Storm bay metallic. And I’ve ordered the Oyster with grey highlight Dakota leather. And also ordered the dual clutch automatic transmission. I absolutely love the car and can’t wait to take delivery of it. I’m not a car person at all and I know zero about cars. I simply go by if I like the look of them and if comfortable to drive. I currently have a 3 year old Vauxhall Mokka x elite in bright orange. So for me this is a nice step up. I know everybody has an opinion about the car and I’ve actually seen quite a few arguments/disagreements about the car. And how it’s ugly, it’s crap, it’s this it’s that. But for me personally I love it. So plz no hate on my comment. Thanks 🙂

getting mine in september in mineral grey this car looks 10x better in the flesh and has a real premium feel with loads of standard equipment a no brainer if you ask me

Black car with red seats my favourite combo

I love a smaller car ... even if I had the money I'd choose this over an 8 series ... modern cars are way too big

Got mine on order to come in the spring, was going for an A3 S Line until I saw this in the flesh. Gone for Alpine White & with the panoramic roof.

Disclaimer: This review was filmed before the UK lockdown came into effect. Let us know what you think of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe!

Hopefully will have mine in a couple of weeks can’t wait 👌🏻nice car

Stunning looking car & looks so much nicer & bigger in the flesh. I personally love the design, which i appreciate is very much subjective. Just placed my order for one in Sapphire Black, with Black Leather interior and M Sport upgrade.

Amazing review

Getting this in storm bay grey in a months time, can’t wait

I just wish that they make 220d with manual 6 speed... 190 BHP is a sweet spot for this kind of a car and with a little chip tuning it's a propper rocket... I like that BMW offers a really nice big brake kit as factory option for a very reasonable price

I think it's a nice looking car and it would be something I'd consider if I was in the market for a four door coupe, would like to see how the higher power 2 series X drive compares with the Audi haldex set-up.

Could you please give information about type of gearbox of BMW 2 Gran Coupe ? Is it wet clutch?

I took a 430 Gran Coupe to France last year and it was a dream. Super fast, economical, spacious and practical for the family. Hoping the 2 series version might give me the same feel but on a tighter budget.

I've had a 2 series two door before I brought my gran coupe. For most part, the rear wheel car is more fun to drive, but most people will not be able to tell the difference. The Gran Coupe is a very smooth car to drive plenty of power in today world . I have no regret in buying this car more practical than a two door and more modern

Great review. Is this the Pro Pack?

Do you think the interior material quality and sound insulation are at a premium level?

I would possibly choose another colour . I have driven the 118i and was mightily impressed with that engine . I would definitely consider the car . In gun metal grey looks really well .

Great review. Just a quick question if I may. How's the suspension on this very car? Did it have the stiffer sports suspension or the regular suspension? I am just concerned about the drive as I prefer comfortable ride. Thank you

Just ordered a 218i M Sport auto in Snapper Rocks colour, with black cloth, hopefully, get it in April this year.

for bmw 2 gran coupe, which transmission used ? wet or dry clutch ?

THIS CHANNEL IS SO COOL. Inspired me a lot to start my own POV Drive Channel

How does this car feel in the wet on good but not great roads? Thinking about my commute in the winter and whether it'd be a nightmare in winter..

Took delivery of a US spec 228i (damn BMW loaner car program when your personal car is in the shop for repairs or maintenance). I was handed the keys to a new 228i and the result... my wallet is a bit empty. I bought the car because it reminded me of the Mini Clubman S (fwd and transmission) and the Mini JCW 3 door (engine) merged together with a dash of BMW refinement. The way I explain the car to fellow BMW owners is to not think of this as a traditional BMW but as a car put together using parts from the corporate parts bin. If Mini were to build a refined sedan, this would be the result. Sure it misses that razor / go kart like handling and fun from the Mini but that's not the mission of the 228i Gran Coupe'. It retains a lot of BMWness. Solid, good driving, a bit of fun, quiet , well made, enjoyable.

Indian variant actually gets fully electric seat adjustment. Also comes with 220i engines 190bhp.

Without that line at the back it would be a lush back end!

It is pretty good!

For some reason, the rear wheels look smaller than the front 🙄😭

This one looks fantastic👌👌🏼

It looks much slicker in black and black

Thats its best spec in my opinion, maybe with variable suspension and 19s

I think you can look at this car as (say) a relatively eco-friendly alternative to a full hybrid. Compared to most full hybrids, it has reasonable handling and balance, a premium feel and (mostly) good looks. Think of the benefit of this small front mounted engine as emitting low CO2 levels rather than one lacking in performance. I am a petrol head and I've owned many (40+) cars including 6 M Sport BMWs. In my view, this car offers me (and perhaps others) a stepping stone towards a greener future and at reasonable cost without sacrificing driving appeal, quality or comfort. Reaching nearly 70 years old, I am at an age where I don't want to drive on the ragged edge anymore and to me this is still an ‘ultimate driving machine', just in a more modern and eco-friendly form!

M sport suspension is lower and stiffer than the entry level sport trim. Also the wheels are 18" rather than 17". If you want a softer ride, just go for the sport model.

In the usa they dont have this model but the M235i, which i am buying a white 21' in three weeks, I got them to go down from 51,500$ to 47,750. I hope it is worth it.

Lovely BMW , Impressive 😄 This till can afford the Daddy 8 series Mpower Great video allways informative from a buyer perspective

Did anyone try the four-cylinder 220i?

8 speed gearbox? Not on a 218i. 7 speed instead

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I’ve had the 2 coupe and currently a 3 MSport plus, but this really caught my eye, the rear is a departure but the front is still BMW, maybe not for the purists but I like it and I think many models look better in certain livery, l have ordered this model in black with the oyster interior, delivery in December.

The main problem is that the front camber can't be adjusted

It's a pity that in Thailand only have 218i which 140 hp is quite too weak and analog display cluster is disappointing

Thanks for a great review. The family has a 3 and a X series but i am still attracted to this 2 series coupe. Looks like an Alfa Romeo rear during my test drive but with all the lastest G20 interior and front. If you like an entry level beemer with the 215 spec, it is a good choice. Tempting !

Whats the BHP please

What was the fuel combustion?

Is there a reason you didn’t bother to mention the MPG? Pretty important detail to omit…

I love the style of this car but i can't get over how s❤it the door sounds when closed 😂

Got no paddle shifters?

What's better in it than 1 series ?

I think it looks good.

i will buy this :)

Price?

Like that! Hyundai have come a long way since the naughties! Why they try badging them an BMWs thinking no one would notice is beyond me, though!

you know bmw chose to become boring and ordinary in the compact class when the presenter more eager to talk about performance 35i models instead of the car he is driving.

Why am I watching this, I need an estate.

I have a M sport 420d on a 63 plate October . At 77 this year I still like the steering and suspension and it’s and automatic . The diesel give good performance and although I’ve not been on a long drive for 2 years I still like the thought of driving to Essex and back without a fuel stop. With all the fuss about Diesel engines what do i do the 4 series has more extras than the smaller cars and I usually buy second hand 3 to 9 months old and I like the 2 door layout with the longer door it’s easier to get in and out of. I was going to buy a six cylinder as after driving a Healy 100/6 as an apprentice I fell in love with a big six 😎

It’s either a A200 AMG line or one of these.its driving me mad.as both look nice and drive nice,think the merc just has it on looks

They need a petrol engine between the 18i and 35i maybe a nice 200bhp motor

Come on Man.. it looks like a Korean car with a BMW Grill and Rims :)

Dear KZfaq, I couldn’t find the “skip ads” button on this one...

BMW have certainly stepped up their game

Looks cool. Prefect weekend car with manual gearbox 😏

BMW > Audi>Mercedes.

I saw one these at the dealer when my car was in for service . Looks to me like an old Ford Focus, and here in the USA it starts for only a about 3k less than a base 330i. I'm not so sure it's going to do so well here.

It''s cute & lovely.

Also, it’s the only car which doesn’t look dated! Looks aggressive and sports… 3 series feels a little outdated.

I've had bm's for a few years, and I've always loved them them. However, I think the design team, of late, have been quaffing too much alcohol during lunch. I know that looks are subjective, but I just don't like the new 1 series, or this 2 series coupe, with its hideous back end. I ended up ordering an X2, which, while disproportionately expensive, is, to me, a more aesthetically pleasing design, with great handling.

THIS IS AN AMAZING CAR IN ITS CLASS, Audi who? And as for Mercedes… doesn’t come close!

Looks like a pirate had a baby with an angel 👼

Alfa Romeo update 1.10

weird looking bmw. bmw new styling is a massive fail.

My Black & Decker lawnmower sounds better... But no worries : the car has big screens... Automotive world is safe!

Can't escape some parts look like a baby Mondeo

What is the point of having big brakes on one of the slowest BMWs for sale? 9.2 to 60 mph?!? Front wheel drive. Pass.

140 hp questionable,the car look sporty but it’s underpowered! It’s ok for grandma to go to Tesco .

Huge brakes, tiny power.

BMW's design isn't great, why are they making such ugly front ends to their cars? Inside is top quality, shame there isn't much room in the back, it looked really cramped. It'll sell well, it's a Beemer at the end of the day.

I guess that's what it's worth 2. Gran. : )

1.5 ltr 140bhp in a bmw .. no thanks ..especially with 3 passengers.. engine and gearbox be on its ass in a few years

You lost me at FWD

Did BMW pay you to do this review? It’s a souped up Toyota Carina E with a nice interior

My gran says she doesn't like it and asks why BMW would think this would appeal to her generation.

Are u a giant? U make the car look like a tiny toy 😆

It looks so cheap & ugly. Sounds super slow. This should be a gift for teenagers.

The design really putting me off....

Black paint saved this otherwise quite ugly car !

Looks like it’s been in a crash and ran into an ugly tree!

Hideous looking car inside and out

left the video once he said front weel drive. BMW what is wrong with you -_________________-

I have Said it before, BMW do not deserve my monney ennymore. They do nothing but bullshit lately! This settles it, I'm never bying a BMW!!!!!

This car is ugly. Just like the new 3 series and 4 series which is Hideous
