Are you in need of a new car for 2019? If so, the 2019 BMW 2 Series is sure to have a model that meets your needs. Whether you decide on the coupe or convertible variant, the alluring power and enticing style are the same. Both the coupe and the convertible come in four different trims for your convenience. These include the 230i, 230i xDrive, M240i, and M240i xDrive.
But how do you know which is right for you? Here’s a closer look at the differences so you can decide which 2 Series car you need to take home.
Impressive Performance
Both the 2 Series coupe and convertible come with two engine choices: the inline four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo 230i and the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo M240i. However, because of the differences between the cars, these engines vary in terms of output when pit against each other.
In the coupe, the 230i engine outputs 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. While this is mighty enough for most, for even more power, consider upgrading to the M240i. This engine outputs 369 pound-feet of torque and can zoom the coupe from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.
When choosing the 230i engine on the convertible, the horsepower and torque ratings stay the same. However, if you upgrade to the M240i, you’ll be in for even more of a treat. With a max torque of 369 pound-feet, the M240i blasts the convertible from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.2 seconds.
XDrive Factor
For some, standard front-wheel drive is not an issue. However, for those that like to take their car to extremes, adding on xDrive is essential.
XDrive is BMW’s all-wheel-drive system that helps you navigate whatever conditions the road throws your way. If the roads become slippery or icy while you’re driving around town, the system will sense if you start to slip and throw more power to the wheel with the most traction. This helps you stay in control so you don’t get into an accident.
You can add on xDrive to either engine option for complete customization. If you choose not to, your top 0 to 60 mph times with the M240i engine will drop to 4.4 seconds on the coupe and 4.5 seconds on the convertible.
Distinctive Styles
After choosing your engine, the next decision is to pick a body style. Both the coupe and the convertible come in two fashions: Sport and Luxury.
With the Sport trim, sleek lines highlight the ferocity of the car. Dark, high-gloss designs reign supreme on the bumpers, while muscular accents beckon other drivers to answer the call.
The Luxury trim is less menacing and more sophisticated with high-gloss chrome accents along the tailpipe and grille. This trim is also paired with light alloy wheels to create a look that’s both modern and functional.
Whichever trim of the 2019 BMW 2 Series you eventually decide on, you’re definitely in for a treat. Check out our online inventory to see more differences between these cars and find the one that meets your needs.
