The BMW 2 Series is offered as a coupe or convertible. With a broad array of engines right through from efficient three-cylinder petrol and four-cylinder diesel, to some of the best performance engines available in a compact car, there’s plenty to choose from.<\/span><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] If you do fancy sweaty-palmed, exhilarating performance with which to enjoy the 2-Series\u2019 nimble rear-wheel-drive handling, then look to the M235i (later updated and called the M240i). It’s a truly rapid, thrilling drop-top or coupe.<\/span><\/p>\n

If even that isn\u2019t enough, the coupe-only M2 is one of the finest compact sports cars going; a return to the simple but brilliant purist sports cars that BMW built its reputation on. Problem is, the M2 is so in-demand that it\u2019s barely losing value at all. It\u2019s not cheap in the first place, so we\u2019re going to focus on the more affordable 2 Series models here.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Under the hood of the BMW 2 Series<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll run out of room on the internet if we go into detail about every engine offered in the 2 Series. It suffices to say that there\u2019s one out there to suit you, and there are no bad engines on offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after a cheap purchase and fuel costs, the 218i is one of the best options. This little 1.5-cylinder petrol engine is familiar from the Mini Cooper. It manages zesty, rev-happy performance while also giving you 40mpg on an easy run. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Reliability problems\u00a0are few<\/span>,
