2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a five-seat subcompact four-door sedan. It will be offered at launch in two trim levels, 228 xDrive and the M235 xDrive. The 228 xDrive is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder good for 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The M235 uses a more powerful version of the same engine producing 312 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both trims drive all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

A front-wheel-drive version, called the 228 sDrive, will be available starting in mid-2025 as a 2026 model.
