Overview

The BMW 2 Series is a range of subcompact executive cars (C-segment) manufactured by BMW since 2014. It was created when the company spun off the two-door models from the BMW 1 Series into a separate series. The first generation included coupé and convertible variants, both rear-wheel drive, produced in Leipzig alongside the F20 1 Series hatchback range. In 2019, the Gran Coupé sedan joined as a front-wheel drive variant based on the UKL2 platform. The second generation of the coupé was introduced in July 2021 and is built on the CLAR platform with no manual transmission or convertible option available.
