Is a BMW Two-Door Coupe Your Next Car?

The BMW two-door coupe is available in both the 2-series and 4-series. These compact vehicles are luxury choices that offer a sleek ride. If you’re eyeing one of these BMWs for your next vehicle purchase, you have a lot to look forward to.

From a comfortable commute to handy features that beg you to book an extended vacation, you’ll find yourself itching for more excuses to spend some time in your new car.

A Cozy Coupe for Two

Both the BMW 2-series and 4-series vehicles offer powerful performance in compact packages. If you’re shopping for a vehicle for a party of two, either will be the perfect fit for your needs. Both models boast a small backseat that is ideal for stashing a cooler for a trip to the beach, or keeping Fido comfortable as you jet out to a weekend at the cabin. With 13.8 cubic feet of trunk space in the 2-series, you can easily fit enough luggage for an extended vacation for two. The 60/40 split-folding back seats will even accommodate longer items.

Satisfying Engine Power

The BMW 2-series features a four-cylinder engine and either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. With the 2016 BMW 228i, you’ll enjoy 240 horsepower, while the M235i offers 320 horsepower with a turbocharged six-cylinder engine. 2016 will also bring the introduction of the BMW M2 with 365 horsepower. Drivers considering the 4-series have the option of a 240 horsepower four-cylinder engine or 300 horsepower inline-six.

All-wheel drive is an increasingly popular option, though rear-wheel drive coupes are preferable in mild climates where there’s no need to pack on the added weight. Regardless of your final choice, all of the options in this lineup offer a responsive ride with adequate power behind the wheel to give you the thrill you expect from this luxury coupe.

An Entertaining Interface

If you can’t imagine your time on the road without an upbeat soundtrack pulsing behind your adventures, or a sleek interactive interface guiding your journey, the BMW two-door coupe won’t disappoint. Small on size but big on features, the BMW 228i offers an iDrive infotainment interface on a 6.5-inch screen. The 10-speaker sound system offers generous acoustics in a car this size. Looking for more? Optional features include a 12-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound stereo, 8.8-inch iDrive screen, and a touchpad controller on the center console.

A Comfortable Ride

Drivers who put comfort at the top of their list of essential features will find the BMW coupe a satisfying pick that keeps both the driver and front passenger well-cared for, even on longer rides. The adjustable bucket seats up front offer 40.1 inches of headroom, 41.5 inches of leg room, and 54.4 inches of shoulder room in the 2-series. Both driver and passenger enjoy dual zone climate controls and extended cabin cooling.

Singles and couples are particularly well-suited to the two-door BMW coupe, but the back seat can comfortably accommodate small children as well, so this car can grow with you from one phase of life to the next.
