BMW 2 Series generations

The BMW 2 Series first arrived in 2013, but it wasn't the first time that the model had been seen. In fact, the 2 Series was the result of restructuring the 1 Series, splitting the hatchback, coupé and convertible into different families. While the hatchback model remained the 1 Series, the coupé and convertible became known as the 2 Series. Since its introduction, the 2 Series has gone through a facelift and the beginning of a second generation, with impressive updates to the styling and equipment.

Second Generation (2021 to Present)

There weren't many styling changes made to the second-generation 2 Series. Its flat, broad grille set it apart from other BMW models, and was topped with slim LED headlights and daytime running lights.

The main updates with the new generation were to the technology. Larger touchscreen displays were now available and better connectivity was possible. There were also some valuable updates to the powertrain offering.

First Generation (2014 to 2021)

The BMW 2 Series replaced the 1 Series coupé, with some major mechanical and styling upgrades. The headlight design was sharpened and the taillights were redesigned. Elegant materials were also added to the interior, creating more soft-touch surfaces and providing a high-end appearance.

A facelift came in 2017 with more focus on creating a sporty experience, further breaking away from the practicality of the 1 Series on which it was based. The whole lineup received new bi-LED headlights and reshaped daytime running lights. New bumper designs released, with various-sized air scoops for cooling.
