Feisty characteristics in BMW 2-Series coupé, convertible

THE BMW 2-Series coupé and convertible models both appear with some feisty characteristics. Starting with the 2-Series coupé, the striking crease line originates behind the front axle, runs upwards in the rear wing and emphasises the sporty-dynamic wedge shape. Combined with the muscular wheel housings, it proves the 2-Series coupé is always ready to take the lead.

The L-shaped rear lights with LED light bars and horizontal alignment strengthen its widespread impact.

The spoiler lip on the rear of the M235i reduces upswing at high speeds. The contour lines of the lengthened hood trace the flow of air, while the large air inlets symbolise the power of the BMW 2-Series coupé, which makes an impression even when it’s standing still. The headlights flow sharply towards the three-dimensional kidney grille. With their highly glossy faces, the forward-slanting kidney slats create a realistic depth.

The chromed kidney frame enhances this effect and lends the vehicle an imposing appearance. The exterior mirrors in Ferric Grey are one of the distinctive external characteristics of the M235i. Its accent colours are also on the slats in the air inlets located on the sides and the imposing 18-inch wheels. The effect is a striking sportiness. When taking the seat behind the wheel of the BMW 2-Series coupé, you enter the limelight. This is because the entire cockpit is orientated towards the driver. The asymmetrical centre console is tilted towards the driver, the free-standing control display is optimally in line of sight and all important functions are always under control. The coupé-like, frameless windows don’t interfere with the view. Exciting, overlapping surfaces and dynamic lines carry the sporty exterior through to the interior. And naturally, all this is achieved with perfect workmanship and through the use of high-quality materials.

BMW 2-Series convertible with its dynamically contoured, forward-slanting bonnet and headlights tapering directly towards the kidney grille, the front of the new BMW 2-Series convertible has a concentrated “facial expression”. The focus of its attention is the road, of course.

In profile, the flat shoulder line running parallel to the ground gives the vehicle an elongated presence. Together with the long wheelbase, wide track and short overhangs, this emphasises the agile, extroverted nature of the vehicle. The roll-over bars remain invisible. They appear only in case of an emergency, within a fraction of a second.

At the rear, the BMW typical L-shaped lights make a clear statement even when viewed from a distance, making the new BMW 2-Series convertible seem even wider and even more muscular. When studied up close, the chrome-plated twin tailpipes and low centre of gravity immediately catch the eye.

And when the soft top is open, you can enjoy an unimpaired view from the rear right through to the windscreen. The interior of the new BMW 2-Series convertible impresses with a harmonious feeling of space.

All operating elements are orientated towards the driver, and exclusive features such as the chrome trims exude a top-quality look and feel. Surfaces and edges blend seamlessly into each other, increasing the light, flowing sensation within. When viewed with the soft top open, the wrap-around door and side trims, as well as the cover of the stowed-away soft top create the impression of a boat deck. One particular eye-catcher is the multi-layered design of the material and its striking colour combinations.

The result is a modern convertible feeling, which combines with the optional sport seats to ensure pure driving thrills. This experience is rounded off by the rear loudspeakers, which are integrated perfectly into the side panelling providing top-class sound, maximum driving pleasure and all the freedom of the wind.

Whether in black or brown, both with silver effect or Anthracite, the contrast-colour, electric soft top of the new BMW 2-Series convertible ensures a trendy, urban appearance. It also greatly reduces noise from outside and demonstrates exactly what spontaneity means.

Even at vehicle speeds of up to 50km/h, the soft top opens and closes fully automatically, meaning there’s no limit as far as your driving pleasure is concerned, whatever the weather.
