The new BMW 2 Series Coupé, now available in Singapore.

Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the availability of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé, a unique vehicle concept in the compact segment that combines extroverted sportiness, perfectly controllable dynamics and progressive premium features. The two-door model is now even more attractive thanks to a detailed, modified design, extended standard equipment and consistent digitalisation. New paint finishes, light-alloy wheels, steering wheels, trim strips and seat upholstery add a modern touch to the exterior and interior of the vehicle. The new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and innovative digital services based on the BMW Operating System 8.5 also contribute to the progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé.

“For those who are familiar with the BMW 02 Series from the 60s and 70s, they will know what it represented not just for sporty driving, but also for BMW at the time,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “The new BMW 2 Series Coupé follows in those legendary footsteps with compact proportions, sharper design, and a powerful engine – everything that goes into a successful BMW coupé – and delivers a more emotional driving experience than ever before.”

The new BMW 2 Series Coupé is manufactured at the BMW Group plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The plant, which was opened in 2019, features particularly efficient and sustainable production processes.

Fresh design highlights, M Sport Package now standard.

The distinctive front end with individual round headlamps, the horizontal BMW radiator grille and the power dome on the long bonnet, the athletically modelled surfaces of the side view, the wide wheel arches and the short luggage compartment lid that ends in a striking air scoop give the new BMW 2 Series Coupé an unmistakable appearance. With the design features of the M Sport Package now fitted as standard, the new edition of the compact two-door model expresses its dynamic character even more intensively. The M specific design includes extra-large air intakes at the front of the vehicle, powerful side skirts and a striking rear apron with vertical reflectors and a diffuser-like insert.

At the front of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé, the surround of the BMW radiator grille is now finished in pearlescent chrome. The side skirts and the lower part of the rear apron are no longer painted in black, but in the colour of the vehicle. The diffuser insert is finished in high-gloss black for a contrasting effect at the rear.

The new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé has its own version of the M specific design features. These optimise the cooling air supply and aerodynamic balance. They include the high-gloss black inserts for the side air intakes, the black spoiler lip on the front apron, the model-specific rear spoiler and the trapezoidal tailpipes on the left and right of the rear apron. The exterior mirror caps of the BMW M automobile is now finished in high-gloss black. M high-gloss Shadow Line is now also part of the standard equipment for the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé.

New paint finishes and light-alloy wheels.

The paint finishes for the new BMW 2 Series Coupé include Alpine White Solid and seven metallic colours, which includes the Fire Red metallic and Skyscraper Grey metallic that are available for the first time for the two-door model. The two BMW Individual paint finishes Frozen Pure Grey metallic and Frozen Portimao Blue metallic are also available. The Zandvoort Blue solid paint finish is now available exclusively for the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé.

All model variants of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé come as standard with 19-inch double-spoke M light-alloy wheels with a Bicolour finish. The new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé rides on 19-inch BMW Individual light alloy wheels Y-spoke style with a Bicolour finish as standard.

New touches of sportiness and digitalisation on the interior.

The rear roof line, the high centre console, and the harmoniously blended surfaces of the instrument panel and door panels create an enveloping feeling of space in the new BMW 2 Series Coupé. This is further enhanced by the anthracite-coloured headlining, part of the M Sport Package.

The interior modifications also focus on digitalisation. The BMW Curved Display plays an increasingly important role in the intuitive operation of the vehicle's functions. The fully digital display system comprises a 12.3-inch Information Display and a 14.9-inch Control Display. It serves as a platform for the further developed BMW iDrive with QuickSelect based on the BMW Operating System 8.5. This means that the automatic air condition functions can be operated by touch on the Control Display or by voice command. This is accompanied by a further reduction in the number of buttons and controls in the cockpit and a corresponding redesign of the instrument panel. New control knobs on the air vents in the centre of the dashboard and on the driver's and passenger's side allow the direction of the airflow to be adjusted by turning and tilting.

The standard ambient lighting in the new BMW 2 Series Coupé also includes new waterfall lighting integrated into the covers of the central air vents. The colour and brightness of the waterfall lighting can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, with nine colour worlds to choose from. The individual colour and brightness settings are stored in a profile. They also affect the lighting in the footwell, the storage compartment in the front of the centre console and the contours of the door panels. The range of interior lighting functions also includes an atmospheric welcome and goodbye animation, including a carpet of light in the entrance area and light signals to indicate incoming calls and, optionally, an open door.

New steering wheels, seat surfaces and interior trim.

The new BMW 2 Series Coupé comes with an M leather steering wheel as standard. The new version features a steering wheel rim that is flattened at the bottom, precisely modified spokes and discreet centre markings. The new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé’s sporty ambience of the interior is also underlined by a red centre marker at the 12 o'clock position and contrasting stitching in the colours of BMW M GmbH.

Electrically operated adjustment options including a memory function are available as standard. The M sport seats available as standard in the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé, offer a wide range of adjustment options at the touch of a button, as well as lumbar support and partially integrated head restraints.

This mode change is now also visualised by the corresponding graphics on the Information Display.

The M Sport suspension, which is fitted as standard in the four-cylinder models of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé, provides a noticeable increase in agility and cornering dynamics with its firm suspension set-up and stroke-dependent shock absorbers. This is complemented by a variable sport steering system with a steering angle-dependent ratio.

Its electronically controlled shock absorbers offer three characteristic maps, which can be activated according to the selected driving experience mode.
