“The M2 has horrible wheel hop when the tires spin. Cadillac fixed the wheel hop in their RWD hot rods. Why can't BMW? The active sound design is very annoying, and I spent about $150 to shut it off. We should be able to control the ASD in the settings. It uses a lot of fuel. Everything else is great.”
2024 BMW 2 Series: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 BMW 2 Series is a carryover with no major product changes. Both the two-door Coupe and four-door Gran Coupe largely repeat their 2023 trim lineups, engines, styling, safety features, and technology.
About the 2024 BMW 2 Series
Split lineup: Coupe models are 2nd-generation G42 cars (introduced for 2022; 2024 is the pre-refresh third model year). Gran Coupe models are 1st-generation F44 cars (introduced for 2020; 2024 is the final model year before the redesigned 2025 second generation).
BMW positions the 2 Series as its compact gateway to sporty luxury, but in 2024 it does that in two ways. The coupe is the classic small BMW: a 2-door body, rear-drive-based layout, and stronger enthusiast appeal. The Gran Coupe adds four doors and a sleeker everyday shape for shoppers who want easier back-seat access and more daily practicality. Across both, the draw is compact size, strong turbo engines, premium cabin features, and a more driver-focused feel than many small luxury rivals.
The 2024 lineup covers two distinct cars: a compact, driver-focused two-door Coupe and a stylish four-door Gran Coupe with easier rear-seat access. The Coupe ranges from the 255-hp 230i to the 382-hp six-cylinder M240i, while the Gran Coupe runs from the everyday 228i to the sportier 301-hp M235i xDrive. Both body styles have an 8.8-inch touchscreen with navigation, and several trims pair their turbo engines with all-wheel drive.
