The BMW 2 Series is a small, sporty luxury coupe available with a choice of three engines. Powering the base 230i is a 255-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the energetic M240i is equipped with a 382-hp, turbo 3.0-liter inline-six. Both engines are coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive. Sorry, BMW fans: If you want a manual gearbox, you’ll have to pony up for the pricey performance M2 version that has a 453-hp, twin-turbo six-cylinder, standard AWD, and a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2 Series’ competitors include the Lexus RC, Nissan Z and Toyota Supra.

Should I Buy the 2024 BMW 2 Series? The 2 Series is the type of BMW that enthusiast drivers love. It’s small and agile, wonderfully quick (even with its base engine) and has a firm ride that inspires confidence in spirited driving. Optional AWD provides added grip when Mother Nature doesn’t want to cooperate. The 2 Series’ small trunk and tiny backseat are expected in such a pert coupe, but we wish the exhaust note were more aggressive across the range, including the tire-smoking M2. The steering also exhibits a degree of numbness that’s surprising in such a sporty vehicle.
