When it arrives in 2019, the first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will not only make use of a front-wheel drive architecture developed in Munich, but also of electric motors in higher-powered models. If desired, the 2er Gran Coupe could send the power to all four wheels, thanks to its xDrive system. At 4.5 meters long, the new 2er Gran Coupe is longer than the upcoming 1 Series and slightly shorter than the new G20 3 Series Sedan.

The top engine in the 2 Series Gran Coupe will produce 252 horsepower, but in order to offer an M Performance model, the power will be further enhanced by an additional electronic module, which could deliver 65 kW of power and 165 Nm of torque.
Analogous to the G20 3 Series, the 2er Gran Coupe could be offered with the 143 hp three-cylinder . Alternatively, a 2.0-liter petrol engine with 197 hp and three diesel units with 156, 197 and 240 hp are also part of the lineup.
The 2er Gran Coupé takes a big step in terms of operation, networking and digitization. Inside, a new digital cockpit is used, which relies on fewer switches and mostly on the voice control delivered by the BMW Intelligent Assistant “Hey BMW.” The focus is on integrating the car as a companion in the daily routine.
The production will kick off in July 2019 and all cars will come with the M Sport configuration as standard. This includes a more muscular body, a non-adaptive, extra stiff suspension, M Sport brakes, steering rack and 18″ wheels. Sport seats will come as standard while M Sport ones will be offered as an option.
I call bs. That power is M2 territory and surely M2 wont be first M to go hybrid?
this is such a wonderfull car.
the body of this car is so attractive.
and it is very comfortable.write for us
Not captivating enough on design. Looks like a regular “regular sedan”. Some will find it difficult to tell 2GC’s design profile apart from 3er and 4GC. Grand coupes having boot lids just like regular sedans makes no sense for what should be hatchback-type cars. Coupled with weak shoulder lines, and lack of fastback (go fast) design, it beggars the question, “what’s the point of BMW’s grand coupes?” 3 series and 4GC are essentially similar looking. This 2GC will look essentially similar to 1 series sedan.

I prefer that the GC has sedan like designs because we all know BMW doesn’t know how to design cars that look like the A7/A5 Sportback or fastback/hatchback designed, just look at the GT cars BMW has made.
Sad reality, isn’t it
Could’ve been a great spiritual successor to the e46, shame! Let’s hope they don’t fuck up the coupe!
