Updated BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé touches down in SA
The M235 xDrive and 218 M Sport ride on adaptive M suspension which enhances agility and comfort by means of variable and frequency-selective shock absorbers. With the adaptive M suspension, the vehicle rides 8mm lower and also includes sports steering.
Similar to the new 1 Series, the new 2 Series Gran Coupé delivers improved handling and dynamics across the range thanks to BMW increasing the rigidity of the body and chassis connection. It has also optimised kinematics and added new shock absorber technology.
The 2 Series Gran Coupé is leather-free and its vegan interior has newly designed seats for improved long-distance driving comfort. Optionally available are Sport seats upholstered in a new Econeer fabric made from recycled polyester, or artificial leather/Alcantara. Seat heating and electric adjustment with a memory function is optional on all versions.
The interior has a redesigned gear selector and a BMW Curved Display with a 10.25' instrument cluster and 10.7' touchscreen. The iDrive infotainment system uses BMW OS 9, a software suite offering a high degree of personalisation and access to downloadable apps and extended digital services via the BMW ConnectedDrive store.
As per the trend in modern BMWs, the number of physical controls inside the cabin has been reduced in favour of a digitised setup.
In addition to the six airbags and stability control offered range-wide, the M235 also comes with blind spot warning and lane keeping assist.
