Overview

The 2014 BMW 2 Series Coupe is a subcompact coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $40,500. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi TT Coupe, the Mercedes Benz C-Class coupe, and the Nissan 370Z coupe. Between 2 trims, the 2 Series Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine capable of making 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 300 horsepower-making 3.0L turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. Both engines are mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2 Series Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.9 seconds with the 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine. Depending on the powertrain, the 2 Series Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy of between 27 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 13 striking colors the 2 Series Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The base 428i trim will suffice all your needs in a premium coupe car. However, if you need a powerful coupe with amazing handling, going with the 435i is the perfect pick which adds a more powerful turbocharged inline-6 engine. Except for 18-inch wheels, the 435i share the same set of standard features with the base trim. Additionally, we suggest the driver assistance plus package includes blind-spot monitoring, rearview camera, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors,top-view camera system, frontal-collision warning, and automatic braking.
