The BMW 2-Series Coupe was seen testing in camouflage ahead of the launch which is set this summer. The new generation of BMW's smallest coupe will once again include 230i and M240i versions, both available with either rear- or all-wheel drive.
One of our favorite BMW models is entering a new generation soon. Even as new front-wheel-drive sedan variants crop up around it, the new 2022 2-series will continue to offer a rear-wheel-drive coupe model with either an inline-four or an inline-six engine. BMW has confirmed that the M240i model will offer a more powerful turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with 382 horsepower, while we expect the 230i to continue with a turbo 2.0-liter inline-four with around 250 hp.
These photos of a camouflaged prototype don't show much but do hint that the 230i and M240i will avoid the polarizing kidney grille treatment seen on the 4-series coupe. Earlier leaked photos showed the new model's rear end, which has modern-looking taillights. We've heard that the convertible won't return for this generation, but the even higher-performance M2 will.
More information is coming in late July or early August and the 2-series should arrive at U.S. dealerships by this fall. The rear-drive 230i and M240i xDrive will go on sale first, with the 230i xDrive and rear-drive M240i arriving later, possibly for the 2023 model year.
