Overall Rating
BMW 2 Series:
The BMW 2 Series is a range of subcompact executive cars manufactured by BMW since the year 2014. The 2 Series was created when BMW spun-off the 2-door models of the BMW 1 Series into a separate series.
The 2 Series was first launched as a 2-door coupé and convertible, both based on a rear-wheel drive platform. A year later, the Active Tourer 5-seat compact MPV body style was added, based on the unrelated front-wheel drive platform shared with the Mini Countryman. This was followed by a 7-seat version called the Gran Tourer. In 2019, the Gran Coupé fastback sedan joined the 2 Series family as a front-wheel drive vehicle based on the 1 Series hatchback and has been marketed as a 4-door coupe. In 2021, BMW released the second-generation 2-door coupé, rear-wheel drive 2 Series in July 2021....(Read more on Wikipedia)
