Predecessor | BMW 1 Series (E82/E88) |
Successor | BMW 2 Series (G42) |
The first generation of the coupé and convertible range of the BMW 2 Series subcompact executive car consists of the BMW 2 Series (F22) for the coupé version and BMW 2 Series (F23) for the convertible version. The F22/F23 has been in production since November 2013 and is often collectively referred to as the F22.
The F22 was released as the successor to the E82 1 Series coupé and E88 1 Series convertible. It is currently produced in Leipzig, previously alongside the F20 1 Series hatchback range.[2]
The high-performance F87 M2 model is produced in the coupe body style. It is powered by the BMW N55 and BMW S55 turbocharged inline-six engines.
The United States is the most popular market for the 2 Series, accounting for one-third of all sales, followed by Germany and Great Britain.[3]
Development and launch
The coupé model premiered at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, with sales beginning in March 2014.[4] The convertible model premiered later in October at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, and launched in February 2015.[5] The exterior design was led by Christopher Weil.[1]
The F22 2 Series has a 50:50 weight distribution and features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a five-link rear suspension.[6] Compared to the E82 1 Series coupé, the F22 2 Series is 72 mm (2.8 in) longer, 26 mm (1.0 in) wider, and 5 mm (0.2 in) lower.[7] The 2 Series also has 6 mm (0.2 in) more front headroom and 21 mm (0.8 in) more rear legroom, and has an additional 20 litres (0.71 cu ft) trunk space at 390 litres (14 cu ft).[8] The 2 Series has a reduced drag coefficient of 0.29 Cd for the 220i Coupé.[9]
Convertible models feature a 20% increase in rigidity compared to the E88 1 Series convertible and feature an electric convertible top that can be raised or lowered in 20 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph).[10]
All models meet the Euro 6 exhaust emissions standard.[11]
