The 2 Series Coupé is a great all-rounder with the driving manners you’d expect from a sporty BMW. An entry-level 220i with a few options added is the best choice for most buyers, but the range-topping M240i is hard to resist if performance is a priority.
You won’t have to worry about choosing a trim level because in the UK there’s only one: M Sport. That gets you a decent amount of standard kit, although you will have to fork out extra if you want leather seats, keyless entry or adaptive cruise control.
The entry-level 220i has a 181bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine under the bonnet. Acceleration is strong enough (0-62mph takes 7.5 seconds) but you need to rev the engine hard to get the best from it.
