If you're in the market for a car that's stylish, premium and powerful, then a used BMW 2 Series is a great choice. The potent and efficient engines make the 2 Series engaging to drive and can provide a thrilling experience, while the interior is full of high-end materials. Sharing its technology with other BMW models, the 2 Series is reliable and accommodates many needs.
There have been a lot of powertrain options with the 2 Series, including a diesel, petrol or hybrid engine with an automatic or a manual transmission and front-, rear- or four-wheel drive.
Petrol218d was also available with a 147bhp engine that achieved up to 67mpg, along with a more powerful 225d that produced 220bhp and 61mpg.
The BMW 2 Series is a practical vehicle, offering increased functionality and more space than anticipated for a four-seater.
Interior spaceGran Tourer holds up to seven people.
The BMW 2 Series first arrived in 2013, but it wasn't the first time that the model had been seen. In fact, the 2 Series was the result of restructuring the 1 Series, splitting the hatchback, coupé and convertible into different families. While the hatchback model remained the 1 Series, the coupé and convertible became known as the 2 Series. Since its introduction, the 2 Series has gone through a facelift and the beginning of a second generation, with impressive updates to the styling and equipment.
There weren't many styling changes made to the second-generation 2 Series. Its flat, broad grille set it apart from other BMW models, and was topped with slim LED headlights and daytime running lights.
The main updates with the new generation were to the technology. Larger touchscreen displays were now available and better connectivity was possible. There were also some valuable updates to the powertrain offering.

Above all, the petrol engines are consistently more popular with the 2 Series lineup. These engines can output a lot of power and the 220i has been a favourite for those looking to keep the cost down.
Today, the BMW comes in two models: the M Sport and M. Among used cars, the M Sport has been the most popular, ensuring that all of the top features are included without further costs. Some models include an upgraded suspension, part-Alcantara leather upholstery, cruise control, heated front sports seats, and parking sensors with a reversing camera.
Some models include the Comfort Pack, which has keyless entry, a heated steering wheel and electric memory seats. You can also look out for an electric glass sunroof that allows more light into the cabin, or a premium Harman Kardon sound system.
The Coupé or Convertible may not be designed with families in mind, but some of the other 2 Series models are good family cars. While the Gran Coupé and Active Tourer can accommodate up to five people, the Gran Tourer is designed to hold seven passengers.
