Successor to the BMW 1 Series Coupé (E82) The BMW 2 Series F22 replaced the 1 Series Coupé (E82), offering sportier styling, improved performance, and a more refined driving experience.
Available with Rear-Wheel Drive or xDrive AWD Unlike many modern compact cars, the 2 Series retained rear-wheel drive (RWD) for a purist driving experience, while xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD) was available on select models.
Wide Engine Range – From 3-Cylinder to Turbocharged Inline-6 The base models (218i, 220i, 220d) featured smaller, fuel-efficient engines, while the top models (M240i, M2) had powerful turbocharged inline-six engines.
M240i Featured a 3.0L Turbocharged Inline-Six (B58) The M240i model (2017-2021) had a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six (B58 engine), producing 340 hp (335 hp in the U.S.), capable of 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.4 seconds with xDrive.
Available with a 6-Speed Manual Transmission Many models, including the M240i and 228i, were available with a 6-speed manual transmission, making it one of the last compact BMWs to offer a manual option.
M2 Performance Model Was Based on the F22 Platform The BMW M2 (F87) was developed from the 2 Series F22 chassis, featuring wider fenders, a high-performance suspension, and a more powerful engine.
Featured BMW’s iDrive Infotainment System The F22 2 Series came with BMW’s iDrive infotainment system, with options for a touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and a Harman Kardon audio system.
Compact Dimensions but Sporty Handling The F22 was shorter and lighter than the 3 Series, giving it nimble handling, sharp steering, and a balanced chassis for enthusiastic driving.
M240i Had a Limited-Slip Differential Option BMW offered the M Performance limited-slip differential (LSD) as an option for the M240i, improving traction and cornering stability.
Replaced by the G42 2 Series Coupé in 2021 The F22 generation ended production in 2021, and was replaced by the G42 2 Series, featuring a new design, updated technology, and more powerful engine options.

The F22 2 Series is BMW’s last compact RWD coupe, offering classic driving dynamics in a modern package. With the G42 2 Series going AWD-only, the F22 is now a future classic in the making, especially in M240i and M2 variants.
