2013 BMW 2 Series 218i 8AT RWD (136 HP)

Vehicle Overview

At first, based on the Series 1 hatchback, BMW offered the sportier BMW 1 Series Coupe. The BMW 2 Series replaced the 1 Series, but the German carmaker didn’t just change its name.

Only available in a coupe body style, the 2013 2 Series featured lots of styling and mechanical changes, as well as more interior room and cargo space.

With its sharper headlights and the redesigned taillights, the 2 Series was an attractive coupe with a saloon style trunk.

Inside, the coupe offered a high quality interior with a premium design, as well as lots of standard equipment. Most materials used throughout the cabin were soft to touch and the sporty-elegant design gave a pleasant feeling.

The cabin was fitted with multiple storage spaces, including cupholders, central storage and well-designed door bins. In the rear cabin, the passenger space was better than in other coupes in the class and they benefited of a central armrest, as well as cupholders.

Pretty well equipped in the standard package, the 2 Series offered automatic climate control, USB connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-function steering wheel and rain-sensing wipers. Other optional features included leather upholstery, parking sensors, large alloy wheels and others.

With different driving modes and a great suspension, the coupe felt sporty and glued to the road, driving it becoming real fun.

For those customers looking for the thrill, the powerful M235i was the best choice, reaching 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, mated with a 8-speed automatic transmission. All engines available could be mated with a 6-speed manual transmission at no cost, but the automatic gearbox was standard.
