BMW has announced the availability of its 2-Series Convertible in Australia, where the hot model will reach its dealerships in February, from as starting price of 54,900 AUD, in the 22i version.

At that price, the BMW 2-Series Convertible 220i version will get a series of good standard features, but in case you are not satisfied with that, you can also choose the 228i trim level, which will cost you 68,900 AUD, without the destination fees. On the other hand, the top of the line BMW M235i Convertible will each 85,800 AUD.

In terms of powertrain, all versions are coming with good power and performance, except the fact the BMW German based carmaker will not equip the model with a diesel variant. So we should see a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine in the base 220i, developing around 180 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque.

The BMW 2-Series Convertible 228i will come with the same 2.0-liter unit, but will have an upgraded power of 250 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds. Finally, the M235i will get the highest power, an impressive 320 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, for the 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit, which will run the same mileage in just 5.0 seconds.

The BMW German based luxury automaker has pulled the wraps off the 2-Series Convertible version, which is the official replacement of the former 1-Series Convertible.

The BMW 2-Series Convertible will pack the same fabric roof as the 1-Series Convertible, as it will take around 20 seconds to open and close, coming available in three shades, the black, anthracite with silver and Brown with silver.

The soft top roof has been also insulated, to decrease the noise inside the cabin, reaching thus 5 dB at the front and 7 dB at the rear.

Concerning the power under the hood, a wide range of engines will equip the BMW 1-Series Convertible, starting with the base 220i petrol, developing 184 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque, from churned from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit.

In case you want more power, you can fit the 228i version, which would eventually develop 245 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, when hooked to the xDrive all-wheel drive layout.

The diesel options concern a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, with 190 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, while the top-ragging 3.0-liter inline-six TwinPower Turbo unit outputs a total of 326 horses and 450 Nm of torque.

The post Newly Unveiled BMW 2-Series Coming in First Videos appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

The BMW German based luxury automaker has recently confirmed the intentions of launching a 2-Series Coupe coming with an all-wheel drive.

The BMW 2-Series Coupe AWD is expected to arrive in the United States this summer and it is supposed to be very successful, especially since it is a first premiere for the 2-Series lineup to sport an all-wheel drive unit.

The BMW representatives also mentioned that the xDrive AWD will be put on the 2-Series 228i version, for which the customers will be paying an extra $1,800 for the current price of $33,050.

The BMW 2-Series AWD will be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, developing 240 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque.

However, the top of the line M235i will be costing $45,850 once it will be equipped with the xDrive all-wheel drive, while the 2WD will be costing $44,050.

So far, the details about the 2-Series Coupe AWD are rather limited, but we should expect full specs with the sportscar`s performance and high-tech equipment this summer, when the sporty coupe will be launched in the United States.

The post BMW 2-Series Coupe Coming with All-Wheel Drive in the US appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

The sexy and the stylish new 2-Series is just about to replace the BMW`s 1-Series Coupe and Convertible. At least this is what the 2014 Detroit Auto Show has told us do far.

The new 2-Series will be arriving this late year with a price starting from $33,025, and a $925 destination charge, which would be exactly like paying for an entry-level 3-Series.

At launch, there will be available only two models – the 228i and the M235i. The latter one is introducing the new BMW`s M Performance line of vehicles in the US, with a base price of $44,025 and the same $925.

The 228i comes with the usual turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, sporting a 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

At the same time, the M235i comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six, with 322 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque.

Every year the 2-Series is developing and there is a new 2-Series Convertible joining the late 2014 models, along with other new range of front-wheel-drive BMW in the US. Things are getting better for the German car manufacturer, since there might be also future undisguised versions of the new 225i. See you soon!
