[@TwistedChad]

RWD/AWD, auto/manual, diesel/gas, 4/6 cylinders, coupe/convertible, track beast or comfy daily driver... there's a 2 Series for almost everyone out there. Love the subtle, handsome styling. Interior materials aren't unreal and the car lacks a few toys, but the ergonomics and build quality are top notch. I'm just glad BMW still has the balls to offer a sporty coupe with a longitudinal engine, rear-biased driving characteristics, and a 6 cylinder. A standout in its class for sure in this day and age. BMW put a lot of effort into a car that doesn't sell nearly as much as their other models, and I hope coronavirus doesn't affect the future of the next 2 Series because it's absolutely a car that doesn't need to exist but I love that it does.

Just purchased a 2020 230 xdrive. One of the main reasons was the size is right having comfort and practicality but still feels really sporty. Put it into sport mode and you feel like you are driving a sports car with instantaneous acceleration and great road holding ability. The ZF 8 speed transmission always seems to be in the right gear and in comfort mode highway drives are quiet and relaxed. Most new BMW’s have been upsized but this reminds me of my 2001 330i which I really loved being a true drivers car. Thanks for highlighting so many of the 2’s great qualities.

Hi. I have a 2017 230i manual. Want to mod engine. What are you thinking of doing?

[@phillipquann7659]

I, like you, think the 228 is a beautifully designed automobile. My 228 has the eighteen inch wheels which match well with the overall dimensions of the car, in fact, I think they're the perfect size. Any larger or smaller size would spoil the harmony. My favorite angle of view is the low and front 3/4 shot. The hood and fender seem just a little longer in a supermodel leggy type of way at that angle. I agree with your great review completely.

[@zw2185]

Amazing stuff, I agree with all of it, cargo space is unreal. I would add that there is even an Xdrive version for people like me who get snow for months out of a year. And with purchasing the 4cyl version I am capable of achieving 35mpg on the highway in eco-mode. The ability to have a snow-going, economic, but 5 second sports car is a dream come true. I only paid 23K for mine with 20K miles. Find me a car that does all that with a luxury badge for 30K

Glad a channel like yours exists and that you picked the lighter 4-pot model as it seems like so many others go for the M235/240i instead. I have a 15 228i m-sport as well but in silver. My last car was a F30 328i in that beautiful estoril blue but unfortunately was totaled by a drunk driver who blew right through the intersection. I guess the silver lining is that it got me into this 2er instead which I've enjoyed more. Excited to follow your experiences with this car!

[@sammilburn445]

I own a 17 220d manual. Although it’s a replacement to the 1 series coupe, I think it fits the gap between the e92 and the 1 series. 4 series looks loads bigger then the e92. The manual feels great to use and it’s definitely a pretty car. 220d js fun but almost a bit boring, but ig that’s bc it’s a diesel and I haven’t really had any chance to have fun it in, despite doing 5k miles in 3 months. Definitely happy I chose it over a golf gtd though. Got mine for a really good price with every option ticked minus 2 (no harmen kaaden which doesn’t bother me and no pro nav). Red heather leather seats, heated steering wheel, sun roof, dual zone climate etc. it’s an amazing car all around, just wish that 6th gear was longer as I’d like to sit around 1700rom at 70mph rather than 2k

Thank you, very thoughtful job. The only downside I see, is this is more an infomercial than a review in that we did not hear any cons, just pros. And any/all cars have some cons, even if minor. Also, nothing on mileage, and predicted reliability. We all know parts and service for any BMW can be very high, so not needing a lot of repairs is a key consideration for most of us.

I'm used to BMW 3 size cars and I've been having a hard time thinking about getting something a little smaller, but i know i really should. i looked at the 1 Series, a nice enough car, a step too far for me. It didn't make sense to me that no one made a nice car to fit the Series 2 space. The Audi A3 is horrid, so dated, like something from the 90's. Mazda3 a maybe, or even the 6, but nahh. You have shown me what i wanted to believe. The 2 Series can be the midsize car while not making me feel cramped, missing features or, worst of all, slow! M Sport looks perfect. Thank you!

[@derekb4092]

Have you tried out the previous generation E82 135i coupe ? If you can put the 2 series modern tech to one side and focus on the driving experience its amazing. Has so much feedback from the road surface and sharp throttle response. It rolls through corners and grips with very little understeer if you're on equal sized Michelins all round. Mine has a birds bmw LSD diff and suspension upgrade with 225 40 18s. Comfortable with great body control and so much extra traction from the magic Diff. The steering is very good perfectly medium weighted. I found the 2 series steering a bit too light for me and dead feedback. Nothing coming back to the driver about the road. Many people love all the 2 series Tech but I prefer a simple sat nav thats actually a good map and I hate stop start engine thing at the traffic lights. You may find this strange but I rejected the 240i because of the dead steering and too much technology overload. I want to drive the car myself without technology interfering thank you very much. All I can say is try out a 135i coupe one day. The young drivers of today don't know what they are missing out on.

[@BetweenTheWheels]

Yes, I love the 1 series and I think, as you say, it’s a fantastic mix of size, straight ahead driving feel and eschews the glitzy tech. Sadly, they’ve been in such demand they’re were more expensive than my budget for a straight ahead track car and lacked some of the things I wanted in a daily.

Great review and I agree with it fully. I have a 2018 230i Sport. Yours is an MSport. Which suspension do you have? MSport or Adaptive MSport (Track Handling Package)? Have you compared standard, MSport, and Adaptive MSport? I've only driven the standard suspension. Was wondering how stiff the others are? Standard handles great and is fairly comfortable too. Where I live, most of the 2 series are 228i/230i in Sport line. I occasionally see an MSport as well as M235i/M240i and M2, but most are 228i/230i Sport

[@BetweenTheWheels]

My car has the Msport (non adaptive) suspension. It isn’t harsh, definitely softer than my Z4 was, which may be due to the run flats on the Z4 being very hard. I have not driven one with adaptive suspension so I can’t compare. The car handles well, I need to test it on track and see how urgent a set of coilovers will be.

It is a shame that 2, 3 and 4 series engines are let down by systemic design faults that BMW seemingly ignores, e.g. leaky oil filter gaskets (causing belts to jump sometimes resulting in engine failure), high pressure fuel pumps failures, and leaky valve cover gaskets. I am considering purchasing an M235i but the N55 doesn't look super robust to me.

I wonder if the new 2 series is going to live up to this 230i. Lets hope but I'm not betting enough.

[@woobinlee2602]

amazing! what is that blue exterior paint color called!?

[@BetweenTheWheels]

Estoril blue.

Thank you for this review... can you tell me when is the new 2 series 2021 coming ?

[@BetweenTheWheels]

Thanks for watching! I’m not very tied into any super secret knowledge but if you mean the new version of the F22 platform, there have been photos of ‘mules’ posted in the last couple of weeks. BMW must be in final testing for that car but I’d expect it to be a 2022.

@@BetweenTheWheels thanks 😊👍

[@johnspencerspencer7438]

Very informative thank you.i own the 218i coupe and agree its the best looking car bmw have ever made

[@gerardabajoli2330]

Hi.. i am an owner of a 218i coupe 2018 and love it. i am very glad driving it. But now i saw the new 420i, and i cant make up my mind to change the 218 to 420i. would you give me some advice .... thanking you in advance ... G. A.

[@BetweenTheWheels]

I think it comes down to whether a few inches of backseat room matter and, maybe more, the aesthetics of the longer wheelbase. I’m not really feeling the new 4 series as I think it’s understyled and rather bland. If you must upgrade, I’d look at the new 2 series coupe.

[@gerardabajoli2330]

@@BetweenTheWheels thank you for your prompt reply. i looked at the new 2 as well. i didnt like the design and especially the backlights. i think mine looks better then the new 2. i am really in a state to change to 4 or stay with my own 218i, which looks beautiful and especially the mineral grey with beige seats.. i dont know if you saw it, on the 4 series they made this dravit grey colour which, on the sun when you look at it, it gets oily green colour .. i dont like it at all.. this is also something that keeps me back not going to the 420.

Hey how's the reliability like for this car? Is it expensive or difficult to maintain?

[@BetweenTheWheels]

Fantastic. Zero issues. I do my own maintenance and I’m a bit over the top so, three oil changes in 7 thousand miles and track ready brake pads. If this was just a daily driver it would be even cheaper.

[@artmaltman]

Sweet review. How do you like the 4 door 2-series?

[@BetweenTheWheels]

Thanks! Not a fan of the 4 door. Not the same drivetrain as the F22 and the styling doesn’t work for me.

[@adammasri5894]

BMW is one of the best car brands, and the 2 Series is fantastic

[@pangarerc]

[@b.a1295]

About to pick up a 220d next week! I’m 19 and this car seems just perfect as a second car can’t wait 🙏🏽

[@AmericanMeat]

Did you get the xDrive (AWD) or RWD

[@BetweenTheWheels]

RWD

[@mrmr1734]
