2025 BMW 2 Series Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 BMW 2 Series coupe comes in 230i and M240i trims. The 230i is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the M240i gets a turbo six-cylinder. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and each trim offers optional all-wheel drive, which BMW designates as xDrive. Keep reading for our breakdown of the 2 Series' significant features and options.

  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

M240i
More powerful and feature-rich, the M240i gets you:

  • 19-inch wheels

The 2 Series offers a handful of packages and several stand-alone options for both trims. Highlights include the Convenience, Dynamic Handling and M Sport packages for the 230i, which add many of the M240i's extras to the base trim. Other highlights include:

  • Premium package
    • Convenience package features (230i)
    • Heated steering wheel

  • Parking Assistance package
    • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Several bundled items are also available as stand-alone options. Highlights include:

  • Leather upholstery

  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system
  • Wireless smartphone charging

Which 2 Series trim 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.
