After several spy shots, leaked images and rumored specifications, the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupe finally breaks cover. The new model is designed to replace the current BMW 1 Series Coupe, one of its advantages being the increased dimensions.

To be more specific, the new BMW 2 Series Coupe is 72mm longer, 32mm wider and comes with a luggage space of 390 liters. At the exterior, buyers will benefit from revised bumpers, a new front grille, air intakes and improved optical blocks.

Power is offered by a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine producing 184 horsepower and 270Nm of torque for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7 seconds. A diesel 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit delivers 143 horsepower and 320Nm of torque for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 8,9 seconds.

More power is offered by a similar 2.0-liter diesel with 184 horses and 380Nm of torque. Even if outputs the same amount of power compared to the petrol unit, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 7,2 seconds. The diesel range is completed by a 218-horsepower 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo while the range-topping model is the BMW M235i.

The latter makes use of a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 326 horsepower and 450Nm of torque. With such resources and linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission, it sprints from standstill to 100 km/h in 4,8 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h.

The new BMW 2 Series will go on sale in March with prices starting at $33,025 in the States.

The all-new BMW 2 Series Coupe have been leaked in a German magazine, only two days prior its debut. The model in question uses a light bronze finish and of course, is quite similar to the BMW 1 Series which is based on.

Under the hood of this particular model, the BMW 220d, we find a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit producing 181 horses. The diesel powerplant offers a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7,1 seconds with a top speed of 235 km/h.

There are no interior shots available yet but you should expect the styling of the BMW 1 Series to carry over as well.

The more powerful BMW M235i Coupe is expected to benefit from a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine producing 322 horsepower and 450Nm of torque.

With such resources, the 0-100 km/h will take only 4,8 seconds with a top speed limited at 250 km/h. No pricing details were released yet but a $39,000 starting price is rumored.

The new BMW 2 Series Coupe seems to get closer and closer as the latest spy shots show a prototype wearing less camouflage than the previous vehicles.

In terms of styling, the new model will borrow several features from the 1 Series lineup but will benefit from new bumpers, revised optical blocks and front grille.

Engine range will be carried over from the current BMW 1 Series with high-performance M235i 2 models to debut later. The first one will be powered by a 3.0-liter engine producing 320hp and 450Nm of torque while the range-topping BMW M2 will get a power boost to 350hp.

The latter should hit the market somewhere in 2015 with more details to be available soon.

The all-new BMW 2 Series lineup is expected to debut in world premiere at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, an event which opens its gates this fall. BMW will premiere several other new models at Frankfurt.
