was such a success that it wasn’t long before the Bavarian firm introduced coupé and convertible versions of it. Nippy and pert, both models received universal acclaim, but when the 1 Series was updated in 2014, the coupé and convertible versions were enlarged for increased practicality, and their names were changed to the 2 Series. Equally as popular, it was produced until 2021, when it was replaced by an all-new version.
The Coupé is essentially a driver’s car, and unsurprisingly, a wide range of engines was offered. The 134bhp, three-cylinder, 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine does a very fine job, so this could be a good bet for those wanting a zesty-feeling petrol motor that offers fairly low running costs. The 181bhp four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol in the 220i promises hearty performance, while the 3.
All engines push the agile 2 Series along at a good rate, and in corners, its chassis is composed and balanced. With a notably better handling balance and in particular better body control and more precise steering than a 1 Series hatchback, the 2 Series felt effortlessly agile and willing to be hustled along much more quickly than most owners will ever drive.
Meanwhile, the M2 version is a humdinger. It feels notably more alert and agile than its only marginally bigger, heavier siblings. It has a verve and spirit about the way it changes direction. It steers fluently, keeps its nose well planted and is balanced, poised and ready and able to deploy as much of its considerable power as you’re inclined to push through its fat rear tyres.
It’s a well built and solid feeling car, and the well-laid-out and high-quality interior features the legendary iDrive infotainment system. There’s plenty of room up front, and space for two children in the rear, and as a further bonus, there’s a large boot, too.
