The 2017 BMW 2 Series is a part of the model's first generation, offering a luxurious, sporty, and compact package. It comes with various trims including the 230i and M240i, both available in sedan and convertible models. The 230i is powered by a 248-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine whereas the M240i offers an impressive 335-hp turbocharged inline-six. Both variants are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while a six-speed manual is also available. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel-drive ("xDrive") optional. Infotainment features include a standard 6.5-inch screen with iDrive, but can be upgraded to an 8.8-inch touchscreen. The vehicle is also equipped with safety features like optional forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking. For 2017, it enjoyed a significant under-the-hood upgrade for both trims.
