The F44 BMW 2 Series is a subcompact executive car produced by BMW.[1] It is also known as the 2 Series Gran Coupé.[2]

The F44 2 Series was revealed online on 16 October 2019, and officially premiered at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.[3] It was launched in worldwide markets in March 2020.[4]

Development and launch

The 2 Series uses the front-wheel drive based UKL architecture and uses a multi-link rear suspension system.[5] Compared to the F22 2 Series Coupé, the F44 has 33 mm (1.3 in) more knee room, 14 mm (0.6 in) more headroom, and a 40 litres (1.4 cu ft) larger boot capacity at 430 litres (15 cu ft).[6]

All petrol and diesel engines are installed with particulate filters and meet the Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard.[7] Diesel engines also have AdBlue selective catalytic reduction.[8]

218i models are available with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.[9] 228i xDrive, M235i xDrive, and 220d models are only available with an 8-speed automatic transmission.[10]

Equipment

Standard equipment includes full LED lights and 40:20:40 split folding rear seats.[11] Collision detection with braking intervention is also standard in European models.[12] In addition to the basic model, the 2 Series is available in the Luxury and Sport line which adds 17-inch wheels and a sports steering wheel, and the M Sport line which adds 18-inch wheels, an M Sport steering wheel, and M Sport exterior styling.[13]

Optional equipment includes ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, a 9.2-inch windshield reflected head up display, and Apple CarPlay.[14] The F44 2 Series can be unlocked via near-field communication by holding a smartphone near the door handle, and can start the engine by placing the smartphone in the wireless charging tray.[15] The digital key can also be shared with up to 5 other smartphones.[16]

The 2 Series is also available with iDrive 7 which features over-the-air software updates and a digital assistant that can be activated by saying "Hello BMW".[17] The digital assistant learns the habits of the user over time and can control in-car functions, check the maintenance status, or answer questions about the vehicle's functions.[18]

The 2 Series uses the navigation system and camera data to prevent unnecessary gear changes when travelling through corners and to determine appropriate shutdowns for the engine start-stop system.[19]
