This is the updated BMW 2 Series Coupe which is now available to order in the UK. Prices start from £34K, for that you get the entry-level 2 Series 220i. The latter uses a 184bhp 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbo engine. Typically power is sent to the rear wheels. Ignore the diesel variant, do not even consider buying. After BMW’s cartel-like involvement in dieselgate, diesel-powered cars should be left to the footnote of history in the smallest possible typeface.

If you can afford the extra outlay, the M240i xDrive features a 3.0-litre straight-six engine that sends 374bhp and 500Nm of torque to all four wheels. But it will cost you £45k.

Standard equipment includes three-zone automatic climate control and a 12.3-inch BMW Live Cockpit Professional. Remote Software Upgrades function keeps the BMW 2 Series Coupé right up to date with the latest software.
