The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé (model code F44) is a subcompact executive sedan produced by BMW.[2][3] It was revealed on 16 October 2019, and officially premiered at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.[4] It was launched in worldwide markets in March 2020.[5] For most markets, the 2 Series Gran Coupé is the smallest four-door sedan offered by BMW, except in China and Mexico where the F52 1 Series sedan is offered.
Overview
The 2 Series uses the front-wheel drive-based UKL2 architecture and uses a multi-link rear suspension system.[6] As the result, despite its similar name, it is mechanically unrelated to the F22 2 Series coupé and convertible. Compared to the F22 2 Series, the F44 has 33 mm (1.3 in) more knee room, 14 mm (0.6 in) more headroom, and a 40 litres (1.4 cu ft) larger boot capacity at 430 litres (15 cu ft).[7] It shares the same front hood, fender panel, dashboard and suspension as the F40 1 Series.[8][9]
All petrol and diesel engines are installed with particulate filters and meet the Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard.[10] Diesel engines also have AdBlue selective catalytic reduction.[11]
218i models are available with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.[12] 228i xDrive, M235i xDrive, and 220d models are only available with an 8-speed automatic transmission.[13] 220i models are only available with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Equipment
Standard equipment includes full LED lights and 40:20:40 split folding rear seats.[14] Collision detection with braking intervention is also standard in European models.[15] In addition to the basic model, the 2 Series is available in the Luxury and Sport line which adds 17-inch wheels and a sports steering wheel, and the M Sport line which adds 18-inch wheels, an M Sport steering wheel, and M Sport exterior styling.[16]
Optional equipment includes ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, a 9.2-inch windshield reflected head up display, and Apple CarPlay.[17] The F44 2 Series can be unlocked via near-field communication by holding a smartphone near the door handle, and can start the engine by placing the smartphone in the wireless charging tray.[18] The digital key can also be shared with up to 5 other smartphones.[19]
The 2 Series is also available with iDrive 7 which features over-the-air software updates and a digital assistant that can be activated by saying "Hello BMW".[20] The digital assistant learns the habits of the user over time and can control in-car functions, check the maintenance status, or answer questions about the vehicle's functions.[21]
The 2 Series uses the navigation system and camera data to prevent unnecessary gear changes when travelling through corners and to determine appropriate shutdowns for the engine start-stop system.[22]
218-228 models with the M Sport Trim and M235 models can be fitted with M Performance Parts. These include sport brakes, carbon fibre mirrors and M rims.
