All model variants being introduced in the spring of 2015 will feature power units of the latest generation with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology that ensure a further optimised relation between driving pleasure and fuel consumption. The models BMW 218i Coupe and BMW 218i Convertible feature a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine with a maximum power output of 100 kW/136 hp and a maximum torque of 220 Nm.
The new engine can be optionally combined with an 8-speed Steptronic transmission. The BMW 218i Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds (automatic: 8.9 seconds), the BMW 218i Convertible in 9.4 seconds (automatic: 9.6 seconds). Fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels are 5.6 to 5.1 litres/100 km and 130 to 119 grams per km (automatic: 5.5 – 5.1 litres/100 km, 129 – 118 g/km) for the Coupe and 6.0 to 5.5 litres/100 km and 139 to 129 g/km (5.8 – 5.3 litres/100 km, 134 – 124 g/km) for the Convertible respectively (figures as per EU test cycle depending on selected tyre size).
Furthermore, from March 2015, the BMW 220d Coupe powered by a 140 kW/190 hp, four-cylinder diesel engine can also be equipped with the intelligent four-wheel drive system xDrive. The BMW 220d xDrive Coupe comes as standard with the 8-speed Steptronic transmission and accelerates from 0-100/km in 6.9 seconds. Average fuel consumption is between 4.7 and 4.3 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions between 124 and 113 g/km (figures as per EU test cycle depending on selected tyre size).
In addition to the extended engine portfolio, new equipment lines create further possibilities for individualization of the BMW 2 Series Coupe. The equipment range available as an alternative to the basic version will in future comprise – analogous to the BMW 2 Series Convertible – the model Advantage as well as the models Luxury Line, Sport Line and M Sport. Thanks to their precisely aligned design and equipment features, they offer additional comfort and accentuate the vehicle’s high quality and elegance or its sporting character respectively.
As from March 2015, new light alloy wheels will be available both for the closed and the open versions of the two-door car. The latest generation of the navigation system Professional, which excels through an optimised graphic display and offers, among other features, the possibility to update maps via a mobile phone connection, is now also available for the BMW 2 Series Coupe. For this version and the navigation system Business, both models feature an 8.8/6.5-inch control display respectively with a new exceptionally high-quality, narrow surround. The onboard monitor of the BMW 2 Series Coupe now features the sport indicator, which provides information on current engine performance and torque. Moreover, the instrument cluster in both models will be supplemented by a “current fuel consumption” display function.
