BMW 2 Series

The BMW 2 Series, launched in 2014, is a well-rounded compact luxury car available in both coupe and convertible body styles. Owners appreciate the 2 Series primarily for its engaging driving dynamics. From the base model to the high-performance M2 Competition, every version of the 2 Series delivers robust power and quick acceleration. Complementing this is precise steering and sharp handling, making it fun to drive on both city streets and twisty back roads. However, the 2 Series isn't without a few shortcomings. Some owners report that the rear seats are tight for most adults. Similarly, its trunk space may fall short for those who need to haul larger items. Additionally, while the infotainment system offers a wide range of features, some find that using it can take some time to master.

More fun to drive than Porsches I have had in past. Torque and responsiveness are amazing. Wish I could have gotten manual trans along with X-Drive.

Poor mileage. Best I was able to get was 26.6. Do not have a heavy foot. Low gas mileage and small gas tank means frequent stops to fill up for GAS. Large amount of shock absorber noise is transferred to cabin on rough roads.

I am beginning to think that there are too many different functions on the stalks on the steering column. It has been a dry summer, so I have had very limited opportunity use the windshield wipers. I still feel very insecure about all their functions and what all the buttons on that stalk do. Also, the Owner's Manual has confusing sections. It could have been translated more expertly from the German.

Love everything about the car except.... I HATE where the interior door lock/unlock button is placed. No one can ever find it. Everyone always looks on the door and no one thinks to look for the button on the center of the dash. Seems kind of dangerous if you needed to unlock the car in a hurry.

After a few months of ownership I'm having 2nd thoughts about this as the right vehicle for me. I skimped on options to save money, and I'm sorry I did that. I miss the sport seats and the 4-cylinder, while powerful, just sounds tinny and has excessive vibration. It seems the car is just not refined enough for as much money as it cost.

There needs to be a bike rack! There was one on the old one series. The phone integration is sketchy, works 1/2 of the time. The camera should have been standard as the car has huge visibility issues without the camera purchased. The car should not be sold without the camera, as the visibility is very poor and presents a danger to the consumer when the top is up. The headrests in the back block visibility as well when the top is closed.

I am a car fanatic and this car was bought as a functional commuting vehicle. I drive for pleasure regularly, I just use different cars.

Overall has been a great experience. I had high expectations about the car before I got it, and those expectations have largely been exceeded. I indicated there was one issue with the car - and that is the window seals along both the driver and passenger door make noise upon driving over bumps, which takes away from the driving experience and the otherwise very solid feeling car.

Too many tech features standard. I would have deleted most all of the "toys," needs a mechanical style gauge option. Needs hideaway display. Would like light towing capacity.
