Design
The specific
proportions of the BMW 2-Series Coupe are contained within a body measuring
4,432 millimeters in length. The two-door model is therefore 108 millimeters
longer than the BMW 1-Series and 72 millimeters longer than the outgoing BMW
1-Series Coupe.
The new compact Coupe is also 32 millimeters wider than its
predecessor (at 1,774 millimeters), and has a 30-millimetre longer wheelbase
(2,690 millimeters) and wider tracks (front: 1,521 millimeters, +41 millimeters;
rear: 1,556 millimeters, +43 millimeters). At the same time the vehicle height
has been lowered by 5 millimeters to 1,418 millimeters.
The result is an
increase in interior space and 20 liters of extra boot capacity (now 390 liters).
Added to which, the BMW 2-Series Coupe also boasts more efficient aerodynamics
than both the BMW 1-Series and its predecessor, as reflected in a Cd of 0.29
for the BMW 220i Coupe.
The dominant themes of the BMW 2-Series Coupe's
interior are the driver-focused design of the cockpit, contemporary functionality
and high-quality materials. An Easy Entry function for the front seats
facilitates access to the two rear seats, which offer 21 millimeters more
legroom than the outgoing Coupe, while headroom for the driver and front
passenger has grown by a similar extent.
Functionality levels are raised
another notch by features including large storage compartments in the doors.
The structure of the surfaces for the instrument panel, center console and door
trim is dominated by the "layering" effect created by various
overlapping surfaces. The length of the doors is emphasized by the converging
lines of the door trim elements.
If the BMW 2-Series Coupe is fitted with an
optional navigation system or the BMW Professional radio, it will also feature
the BMW iDrive operating system, which includes a freestanding onboard monitor
in flatscreen design.
The Control Display comes in 6.5 or 8.8-inch form,
depending on the version specified, while the Controller on the center console
has a touch-sensitive surface which allows the driver to input characters (if
the Navigation system Professional is fitted).
Engine
One four-cylinder petrol engine and one
four-cylinder diesel unit are available from launch, putting 135 kW/184 hp at
the disposal of the BMW 220i Coupe and BMW 220d Coupe. Joining them center
stage, with a six-cylinder in-line engine developing 240 kW/326 hp, is the BMW
M235i Coupe. And following hot on the heels of that trio are two more
four-cylinder diesel models in the form of the BMW 218d Coupe (105 kW/143 hp)
and BMW 225d Coupe (160 kW/218 hp).
All the engines can be combined with an
eight-speed automatic gearbox (standard in the BMW 225d Coupe) for fuel
consumption and emissions figures that are even lower than those achieved with
the standard six-speed manual gearbox. All model variants come with extensive
BMW Efficient Dynamics technology as standard and meet the stipulations of the
EU6 exhaust standard.
BMW 220i Coupe
The engine powering the BMW 220i Coupe sources
significantly higher output from its 2.0-litre displacement than the
four-cylinder petrol units available for the BMW 1-Series range. The driver can
rely on the services of 135 kW/184 hp between 5,000 and 6,250 rpm and peak
torque of 270 Newton meters (199 lb-ft), which is on tap between 1,250 and
4,500 rpm.
The engine makes for a compelling proposition thanks to a familiar
BMW appetite for revs, an impressive level of efficiency and - courtesy of a
modified piston construction - optimized acoustic properties. Its BMW TwinPower
Turbo technology package comprises a twin-scroll turbocharging system, High
Precision Direct Injection, VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing and
Double-Vanos variable camshaft control.
The BMW 220i Coupe sprints from 0 to 100 km/h /
62 mph in 7.0 seconds on the way to a top speed of 235 km/h / 146 mph
(automatic: 230 km/h / 143 mph). The average fuel consumption of the BMW 220i
Coupe stands at between 6.1 and 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers / 46.3 - 44.8 mpg
imp (automatic: 5.7 - 6.0 litres / 49.6 - 47.1 mpg imp), while its CO2 emissions
come in at between 142 and 148 grams per kilometer (134 - 139 g/km; figures are
calculated according to the EU test cycle and may vary depending on the tyre
format specified). As these figures confirm, the BMW 220i Coupe's 10 kW
increase in output over its predecessor has been complemented by a drop in fuel
consumption of up to 14 per cent.
BMW 220d Coupe
A turbocharger with variable inlet geometry and
common rail direct injection, whose solenoid valve injectors employ maximum
pressure of 1,800 bar, are the key features of the BMW TwinPower Turbo engine
technology in the BMW 220d Coupe.
This enables the 2.0-litre four-cylinder
diesel engine to match instantaneous pulling power with extremely efficient
combustion. Maximum output of 135 kW/184 hp is available at 4,000 rpm and peak
torque of 380 Newton meters (280 lb-ft) comes on stream between 1,750 and 2,750
rpm.
Fitted with the standard manual gearbox, the BMW
220d Coupe dashes from 0 to 100 km/h / 62 mph in 7.2 seconds (7.1 seconds with
the optional automatic). Top speed stands at 230 km/h / 143 mph with either
gearbox. The output of the BMW 220d Coupe is 5 kW higher than that of its
predecessor, yet it records even lower fuel consumption and emissions.
Average
fuel economy stands at 4.5 - 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers / 62.8 - 58.9 mpg
imp (automatic: 4.2 - 4.4 liters / 67.3 - 64.2 mpg imp), CO2 emissions are
119-125 grams per kilometer (111 - 117 g/km; figures are calculated according
to the EU test cycle and may vary depending on the tire format specified). Cars
fitted with the optional eight-speed automatic gearbox achieve the largest
reduction in fuel consumption, of around 21 per cent.
Customers can order their BMW 220d Coupe from
launch with a BMW M Performance Power Kit from the Original BMW Accessories
range. This kit lifts engine output by 12 KW and increases peak torque by 20
Newton meters (15 lb-ft). Fuel consumption and emissions are unaffected by the
resultant improvement in sprinting performance.
BMW 218d Coupe
Further additions to the engine line-up include
another two 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel units with BMW TwinPower Turbo
technology. A turbocharger with variable geometry and common rail direct
injection, whose solenoid valve injectors fire fuel into the combustion chambers
at up to 1,600 bar, endow the engine in the BMW 218d Coupe with peak output of
105 kW/143 hp and maximum torque of 320 Newton meters (236 lb-ft).
The
entry-level diesel model needs 8.9 seconds (automatic: 8.6 seconds) to
accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h / 62 mph en route to a top speed of 213 km/h /
132 mph (213 km/h / 132 mph). The BMW 218d Coupe posts average fuel consumption
of 4.3 - 4.5 liters (4.2 - 4.4 liters) per 100 kilometers / 64.9 - 62.8 (67.3 -
64.2) mpg imp and CO2 emissions of 114 - 119 grams per kilometer (111 - 117
g/km; all data are provisional, fuel consumption and emission figures are
calculated according to the EU test cycle and may vary depending on the tyre
format specified).
BMW 225d Coupe
Serving up output of 160 kW/218 hp and peak torque
of 450 Newton meters (332 lb-ft), the engine in the BMW 225d Coupe is the most
powerful diesel variant available for the new two-door model. Its two-stage
turbocharging system consists of one large and one small turbocharger, also
with variable geometry, whose precisely controlled interplay ensures
instantaneous pulling power.
The piezo injectors of its common rail direct
injection system generate maximum pressure of 2,000 bar. The BMW 225d Coupe is
fitted as standard with the eight-speed automatic gearbox and sprints from a
standstill to 100 km/h / 62 mph in 6.3 seconds. Top speed is 242 km/h / 150
mph.
With average fuel consumption of 4.7 liters per 100 kilometers / 60.1 mpg
imp and CO2 emissions of 124 grams per kilometer, the sportiest diesel model in
the line-up also achieves outstanding efficiency (all data are provisional,
fuel consumption and emission figures are calculated according to the EU test
cycle).
