RepairPal Reliability Ratings are based on the actual cost, frequency, and severity of unscheduled repairs and maintenance on make/model data for select 2008-2022 vehicles. The reliability of a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

Cost

$799/yr

vs. $554/yr
for Average Luxury Compact Car

Frequency

^{The average number of times this model is brought into the shop for unscheduled repairs and maintenance in a single year. RepairPal calculates this metric by tracking millions of unique vehicles over multiple years to determine an average number of visits per year (omitting small routine visits, e.g., oil changes).}

Gives me this silly grin...

2019 BMW 2 Series 230i 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

...whenever I drive this car. I’ve been a long time Bimmer owner and this model gives me the same “Ultimate Drive” joy similar to when I had the 2003 E46 325i car. It drives crisply, handles well through the curves and actually rides smoother and quieter than the E46. The driver's and passenger's seats are comfortable and supportive with multiple adjustments available including …

2020 BMW 2 Series M240i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Okay, our 4th back to back BMW designed on-line (highly recommend it!). We’ve experienced the 128i, the X5 (still own), the i3 and now the 2020 M240i convertible. I’m 100% a tech geek and the math/engineering behind BMW’s (or any car) matters. My beautiful wife appreciates the style and the power. After studying countless video’s and data across a range of luxury coupes we have NO …

Darn Near Perfect

2020 BMW 2 Series M240i xDrive 2dr Convertible AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Amazing blend of comfort and sport. Very fast. But smooth. Fantastic seats. Handling is impeccable. And it comes without the dreaded run-flats. My only peeve is the electric steering. Although not entirely horrible, drive a BMW 135 MSport, with the old hydraulic steering, and you will wonder what the heck BMW was thinking with this crappy electronic steering. BMW should keep the …

Perfect blend of luxury practicality and sportines

Haslettworm, 10/14/2020

2020 BMW 2 Series M240i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

If you are looking for a powerful rear wheel drive sports coupe with a manual transmission and room for a weeks worth of luggage for two, look no further. If you want more, just add the optional limited slip differential and you have a track worthy racer. Same engine as the new Toyota Supra, but with more refined looks, a back seat, more headroom, and a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Porsche …
