The reviews on the latest BMW 2 Series are in, and this sport luxury coupe is earning positive reviews once again.

Improved Performance

While the dimensions of the powertrain haven't changed, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sits under the hood of the latest 2 Series coupe does boast improved output over the outgoing generation. The latest 2 Series two-door now churns out 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque at a minimum, giving you much more punchy acceleration and a noticeable bump in responsiveness from the driver's seat. The alternative turbocharged six-cylinder engine that sits in the M240i also gets a power bump, now delivering 382 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque.

The standard 2 Series is a driver's dream, offering ample punch and rear-wheel drive dynamics to give you a sense of BMW joy and balanced handling even when pushed to the limit. The M240i comes only with xDrive all-wheel drive, which helps get the extra punch from the six-cylinder turbo to the ground without roasting the tires, although it comes at the expense of that classic sport coupe driving experience when you reach the corners.

Usable Drive Modes

While some vehicles make selectable drive modes feel pointless, the adaptive dampers and sport-automatic transmission in the 2 Series offer noticeable differences in feel between each drive mode. Comfort keeps everything soft and slight, soaking up bumps and offering tame acceleration and low-rpm gear changes for an effortless cruise, even in town. Sport Mode lets you unleash your inner hoon, stiffening the ride for improved handling and letting you wring the life out of your turbocharged engine by shifting at the top of the torque curve, rather than in the middle. The result is a snappy, visceral driving experience when compared to Comfort, and it's perfect for those rips up and down your favorite curvy roads surrounding Battle Creek and Three Rivers.

Handling and Ride Quality

As with any sporty BMW model, one of the highlights of the BMW 2 Series experience is the suspension that connects you to the road. The latest system gives you a compliant ride on rough roads, which you're sure to appreciate on the winter-hardened asphalt of Plainwell, but remains responsive enough to let you have fun when its time to cut loose. The selectable drive modes help you tailor your BMW 2 Series experience to suit your mood, but even leaving the settings in Normal will let you have a balanced drive that keeps you comfortable while allowing for some fun.

BMW iDrive

The latest BMW iDrive system takes center stage inside the 2022 BMW 2 Series, offering a Voice Activated BMW Personal Assistant that responds to your voice and becomes more intuitive with each use. The key phrase "Hey BMW…" kicks things off, and from there the brains of the system interpret your speech into a series of commands. You can say "We should bring home a pizza" and it will find pizza places along your route and can even call them for you so you can place an order. Alternatively, say something like "It's cold in here" and it will kick up the temperature of the climate control system to warm things up.

In Car Comfort

While the SensaTec upholstery is among the best synthetic leather feels you'll find, a 2 Series with Vernasca leather is still an unbeatable level of luxury for a compact sport coupe. This plus the multi-zone climate control and heated seats make for an enjoyable ride, every time.
