The new 2025 BMW 2 Series Coupe.

Richmond Hill, ON.  The BMW 2 Series Coupe is unique
in the compact segment, combining unreserved sportiness, extraordinary
driving dynamics, and premium features in a classic 2-door coupe body
style. For 2025, new paint finishes, alloy wheels, steering wheels,
and interior trim and upholstery choices add modern touches to the
exterior and interior of the vehicle. The new BMW iDrive with
QuickSelect and innovative digital services based on the BMW Operating
System 8.5 also contribute to the progressive character of the new BMW
2 Series Coupe.

The new BMW 2 Series Coupe will be launched on the market in August
2024. It will be manufactured at the BMW Group plant in San Luis
Potosí, Mexico, alongside the new BMW M2 and BMW 3 Series.

New paint finishes and alloy wheel designs, available M Sport
Professional Package.

The dimensions, body structure, drive concept, and chassis technology
of the BMW 2 Series Coupe are formulated to convey the brand’s
hallmark driving pleasure in a concentrated form. The distinctive
front end with individual round headlamps, the horizontal BMW grille
and the power dome on the long hood, the athletically modelled
surfaces of the side view, the wide wheel arches, and the short rear
deck lid give the BMW 2 Series Coupe an unmistakable appearance. With
the design features of the M Sport Package – standard on M240i models,
optional on 230i models – the new edition of the compact 2-door model
expresses its dynamic character even more intensively. The M specific
design includes extra-large air intakes at the front of the vehicle,
powerful side skirts and a striking rear apron with vertical
reflectors and a diffuser-like insert.

The new M Sport Pro Package, available as an option for all variants
of the new BMW 2 Series Coupe, complements the dynamic exterior design
with M Shadowline headlights, an M rear spoiler in black, and Black
Exterior Contents. The package also includes M Sport brakes (standard
on M240i models) with red calipers.

The range of paint finishes for the new BMW 2 Series Coupe has been
refreshed with two new metallic shades for 230i and M240i models,
Vegas Red metallic and Skyscraper Grey metallic. Two BMW Individual
paint finishes, Frozen Pure Grey metallic and Frozen Portimao Blue II
metallic, are also available. Zandvoort Blue, previously exclusive to
the M2, is now available for the BMW M240i.

New 19-inch alloy wheel designs are available as optional equipment
for all models. M double-spoke wheels Style 995M are available in
either a burnished or Jet Black finish, and BMW Individual Style 1038i
Y-spoke wheels are available exclusively in a burnished finish.

 

New touches of sportiness and digitalization on the interior.

More than ever before, the interior of the BMW 2 Series Coupe offers
an ideal layout for an exhilarating driving experience for the driver
and three passengers. The rear roof line, the high centre console, and
the harmoniously blended surfaces of the instrument panel and door
panels create an atmosphere of both intimacy and space.

The interior modifications focus on digitalization. The BMW Curved
Display comprises a 12.3-inch Information Display and a 14.9-inch
Control Display that serve as a platform for the further developed BMW
iDrive with QuickSelect based on the BMW Operating System 8.5. This
means that the climate control functions, seat heating, and, if
fitted, steering wheel heating can be operated by touch on the Control
Display or by voice command. This is accompanied by a further
reduction in the number of buttons and controls in the cockpit and a
corresponding redesign of the instrument panel. New control knobs on
the air vents in the centre of the dashboard and on the driver’s and
passenger’s side allow the direction of the airflow to be adjusted by
turning and tilting.

The standard ambient lighting in the new BMW 2 Series Coupe also
includes new waterfall lighting integrated into the covers of the
central air vents. The colour and brightness of the waterfall lighting
can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, with nine colours to
choose from. The individual colour and brightness settings are stored
in each driver’s profile. They also affect the lighting in the
footwell, the storage compartment in the front of the centre console
and the contours of the door panels. The range of interior lighting
functions also includes an atmospheric welcome and goodbye animation,
including a carpet of light in the entrance area and light signals to
indicate incoming calls or an open door.

 

New steering wheels, seat surfaces, and interior trim.

2025 BMW 230i models come standard with a new two-spoke wheel with a
polygonal rim. The new M leather steering wheel, standard on M240i
models and optional on 230i models as part of the M Sport Package, now
features a steering wheel rim with a flat bottom, redesigned spokes, a
red centre marker at the 12 o’clock position, and contrasting
stitching in the BMW M tricolour.

Standard heated sports seats for the driver and front passenger
further enhance the driving experience in the new BMW 2 Series Coupe.
Customers can now choose from four colours of perforated SensaTec,
including new Tacora Red, and four colours of Vernasca leather, now
featuring Black with Red Highlight.

The range of optional interior trims for the new BMW 2 Series Coupe
also includes some attractive additions. Aluminum Rhombicle Anthracite
Trim trim is now standard in M240i models. Fineline Light Open-Pored
Wood Trim, Ash Grey Blue Open-Pored Wood Trim, and Brushed Aluminum
Trim are newly optional on all 2025 2 Series Coupes, while Carbon
Fibre trim is optionally available in M240i models.

BMW Operating System 8.5 and BMW iDrive with QuickSelect.

In the new 2025 BMW 2 Series Coupe, the BMW Operating System 8.5
provides the basis for intuitive and convenient operation via the
enhanced BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and the use of innovative digital
services. The system is now even more consistent and can be operated
using the touch function on the Control Display and natural language
via the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. The current version of BMW
iDrive features a new home screen that permanently displays the map
view of the navigation system or another individually selectable
display on a large surface. On the driver’s side, widgets are
displayed at the same level in a vertical bar and can be selected
directly using the QuickSelect shortcut without having to switch to a
submenu. The new, flat menu structure makes it much easier to navigate
between the various functions and helps the driver of the new
BMW 2 Series Coupe to concentrate on the traffic situation.

The BMW Maps navigation system, which comes as standard in the new
BMW 2 Series Coupe, is based on the BMW Operating System 8.5 and
offers even easier destination entry, additional information while
driving, and further optimizations for fast and precise route
guidance. In conjunction with the optional BMW Live Cockpit
Professional, the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display is supplemented by
the Augmented View function. It enhances the navigation system’s map
display with contextual, real-time information. A live video stream
from the driver’s point of view is shown on the Control Display or the
Information Display and supplemented with currently relevant
information such as directional arrows for precise route guidance.

The new BMW 2 Series Coupe also makes it easier to link the vehicle
to the customer’s BMW ID and the My BMW App. A personal eSIM can be
activated in the vehicle as standard. Smartphone integration with
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ is also standard.
