BMW Group has taken off the covers from the second generation BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, and man it looks satisfying. Featuring a fresh design and four options for the powertrain, the new 2 Series gets an adequately-sized kidney grille that’s not into your face. With the M235 xDrive trim claiming to reach triple digit speeds from naught in just 4.9 seconds, things look promising, at least on the brochure. Here’s some more information about the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.
BMW 2 Series GC design
Things have seemingly started to get back into place at the design department for the Bavarian carmaker. The new 2 Series Gran Coupe looks rather appealing and aggressive at the same time, while not being in your face. It gets a kidney grille that looks just the right size, redesigned bumpers, new design for the alloy wheels, aggressively-shaped tail lights, as well as complementing headlights. The front lip spoiler finished in black and the set of exhausts at the rear add to the appeal. Wheel size options range from 17-inches to 19-inches.
