2025 BMW 2 Series M240i

Price Range: $50,600 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

+47

BMW's smallest coupe is also one of the brand's best values. The 2025 BMW 2 Series boasts nimble handling, quick acceleration and a relatively affordable price for what you get. Rear seat space and trunk space are lacking, but overall we recommend the BMW 2 Series if you're looking for a lively and upscale sport coupe.Read full review

The BMW 2 Series is one of just a few 2+2 sport coupes on sale today. It's smaller than the BMW 4 Series and has a commensurately smaller back seat, though it has a lower price in exchange. While the 2 Series is one of the best in its class, BMW has seen fit to make a series of minor changes to this year's model. While there are a handful of new exterior options, most of the newness is happening inside.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 BMW 2 Series M240i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.11 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: What's new inside the 2 Series

The 2 Series coupe has two large displays behind one panel of glass: one for the instrument panel and one for the touchscreen. For 2025, BMW has updated the interface to make accessing the settings and apps you use most often easier. It also now includes a permanent climate control bar at the bottom of the screen. It's a big change that makes the system much, much easier to use. Other detail changes include standard heated front seats, a new ambient lighting effect around the central air vents, and new interior trim selections for the doors and dashboard.

Competitors to consider

The Ford Mustang is an ideal alternative. It's less expensive and has plenty of power when equipped with its available V8 engine. Ford offers a lot of tech features on the newest Mustang too. For a more practical choice, consider the updated 2025 Audi S3 sedan. We also recommend the Toyota GR Supra. It's just a two-seater but it has similar performance. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about this year's 2 Series.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the 2 Series drive? This is what we want from a BMW. Overall handling and performance are excellent, though it should be noted that our 230i test car was equipped with the M Sport bits (suspension, steering, brakes and rear differential) as well as summer tires. We recorded a 0-60 mph sprint of 5.5 seconds. That's quicker than the Audi A3 or Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, and we expect the M240i will be similarly competitive with the Audi S3/RS 3 and AMG versions of the CLA. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes excellent low-range and midrange power, though it loses steam a bit toward the top of the rev band. It feels plenty strong around town or on the highway.

Braking and handling are nearly as impressive. The M Sport suspension helps keep body motions well in check, with only a mild amount of roll at the limit. The M Sport differential does an excellent job of managing traction, though the 230i will elicit a slide if you coax it. Braking was excellent, stopping from 60 mph in a scant 107 feet at our test track. The brakes are also easy to control when you're on the street.

The main disappointment here is the car's steering feel. It's weighted pretty well, but there's next to no feedback available to give you a sense of the front tires on the road.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the 2 Series? The 2 Series coupe isn't the most comfortable compact on the road, but we'd say the ride quality and overall refinement are about what we expect from a sporty coupe. The optional M Sport suspension obviously firms things up, but overall it strikes a decent balance between comfort and performance.

The front seats don't offer a huge amount of adjustment, but they're supportive and well padded. The heated seats and steering wheel work well, too, and we like that BMW continues to use dedicated physical controls for much of the climate control system.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? This is a small car, so everything is within easy reach. The driving position is excellent and operating the controls is straightforward. It makes driving the 2 Series with vigor all that more engaging. And despite the 2 Series' small proportions, blind spots are actually relatively minimal thanks to upright windows and unobtrusive roof pillars.

The 2 Series is relatively spacious, at least for front passengers. There's plenty of headroom, legroom and shoulder room. But the rear seat is a joke and won't be comfortable for adults, even on shorter drives. Even getting in the back requires some gymnastics most adults simply won't, or can't, perform. This is odd considering the previous-generation 2 Series had a roomier rear seat yet was a shorter car overall.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The 2 Series' infotainment system has a lot of features and customization possibility but isn't the easiest to use. The touchscreen isn't intuitive and looks like someone just added a bunch of apps but did not organize or categorize them in any kind of meaningful way.

On the upside, voice commands can be used to change vehicle audio and climate settings. Voice recognition works well, though the system isn't quite as robust as Mercedes' MBUX or some Google-based systems. The optional Harman Kardon audio system is excellent, with lots of clarity and well-rounded bass even at high volumes.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The 2 Series offers a decent amount of cargo space given its small size. The 10-cubic-foot trunk is a bit less than what you get from the Audi A3 or Mercedes CLA but is reasonably usable. Storage in the 2 Series coupe's cabin is good, too, with a decent-size armest bin and door pockets. Access to the wireless charging pad for your phone is partially blocked by the car's gear selector, however.

The 2 Series has anchors for a car seat, but actually getting either a seat or a child in the rear is going to be awkward and cumbersome. The seats do slide forward, but there's only so much room to work with in the back seat of a coupe. If you regularly have rear passengers of any size, the 2 Series may not be for you.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The rear-wheel-drive 230i gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We got 31 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving test route, which is excellent for this class of car and indicates the EPA's numbers are realistic.

Value

8/10

Is the 2 Series a good value? The 2 Series coupe is pretty distinctive. Every other luxury coupe is either larger (Audi A5, BMW 4 Series, Lexus RC) or doesn't have a back seat (Toyota GR Supra, Porsche Cayman). All of those are significantly more expensive. The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are closer in price but don't exactly offer the same premium experience as the 2 Series. All around, we think you're getting your money's worth here.

BMW offers a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty, average for the class. The 2 Series also includes four years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance and three years/36,000 miles of regular service visits, both of which are better than what many other automakers offer.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The 2 Series' small size makes it feel fairly nimble even if the steering doesn't communicate as much as we'd like it to. It's not the fastest BMW on the road, but it's no less entertaining to drive than some of its larger siblings. As another bonus, the styling is not quite as over-the-top as other new BMWs. (Yep, 4 Series, we're talking about you.)

Which 2 Series does Edmunds recommend?

Driver engagement is one of the main reasons to gravitate to a 2 Series, which is why we recommend the M240i xDrive. With 382 horsepower and all-wheel drive, it delivers the kind of performance and excitement that BMW has become known for.

2025 BMW 2 Series First Impressions

by Nick Yekikian

•8/21/2024

The BMW 2 Series is one of an ever-shrinking number of 2+2 coupes on sale today. While the 2 Series currently is one of the best in its class, BMW has seen fit to make a series of teeny-tiny changes to next year's model. None of the revisions to the 2025 BMW 2 Series coupe is a mechanical change or a redux of the bodywork, and while there are a handful of new exterior options, most of the newness is happening inside.

Changes to the interior and its tech

First, there's an update to the iDrive infotainment system. While the 2 Series coupe continues with the threaded screen design where BMW sticks two large displays behind one panel of glass, the software running it has been updated to iDrive 8.5. The update adds a quick select function to make accessing the settings and apps you use most often easier, and it now includes a permanent climate control bar at the bottom of the screen. It's a big change that makes the system much, much easier to use. (We've already had the chance to try iDrive 8.5 in our long-term BMW i5.)

Other detail changes include standard heated front seats for all models, a new M Sport steering wheel with a flat bottom (standard on M240i models, but an option that comes with the M Sport pack on the base 230i). There is also a new ambient lighting effect around the central air vents. The 2 Series already came with neat light-up door panels, and this addition only luxes up BMW's smallest coupe even more. Last, but potentially least for once, there are new interior trim selections for the doors and dashboard.

Is there anything new outside the 2?

Exterior updates are even more minor. A newly available M Sport Professional package includes blacked-out exterior trim pieces, a rear spoiler, and darkened taillights and headlights. It also comes with M Sport brakes on the 230i models, while M240i models already get the uprated brakes as standard kit.

Lastly, there are five new paint colors for the 2 Series. Vegas Red metallic, Skyscraper Grey metallic, Frozen Pure Grey metallic, and Frozen Portimao Blue II metallic are available across the range. Zandvoort Blue, which was formerly exclusive to the M2, is now available on the M240i.

The full pricing run of all the 2 Series models (including destination and handling charges) are listed below. Deliveries for the new 2 will start in August of this year.

2025 BMW 230i: $40,375
2025 BMW 230i xDrive: $42,375
2025 BMW M240i: $51,275
2025 BMW M240i xDrive: $53,275

Edmunds says

These changes seem small for a refresh, so maybe BMW has something bigger in store for 2026.
