Since its release, it has become a favorite among car enthusiasts looking for an exhilarating driving experience. In this article, we will delve into the technical specifications, modifications, engine versions, trim levels, design, and handling of the BMW 2 Series 2015.
Technical Specifications
The BMW 2 Series 2015 boasts powerful performance with a range of engine options to suit various driving preferences. It is equipped with a turbocharged engine, standard rear-wheel drive, and the option for BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system.
The base 228i model comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 240 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. This engine allows the 228i to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds.
For those seeking even more power, the M235i model offers a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that delivers a staggering 320 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the M235i can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a remarkable 4.6 seconds.
Modifications
The BMW 2 Series 2015 also offers a variety of modifications to enhance both the performance and aesthetics of the vehicle. One popular modification is the M Performance Package, which includes upgraded brakes, sport exhaust system, and a sport-tuned suspension for improved handling and agility.
Another modification worth mentioning is the optional Track Handling Package. This package features larger brakes, a revised suspension, and 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels with high-performance tires. These enhancements allow for even sharper cornering and improved grip on the road.
Engine Versions
The BMW 2 Series 2015 is available in two engine versions: the 228i and the M235i.
The 228i is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the M235i packs a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine. These engine options provide a range of power outputs to suit different driving preferences and fuel efficiency needs.
Trim Levels
The BMW 2 Series 2015 offers three trim levels: Sport Line, Luxury Line, and M Sport.
The Sport Line trim adds sporty accents to the exterior design, including gloss-black grille inserts and unique alloy wheels. Inside, it features additional sport-oriented features such as sport seats and an M Sport steering wheel.
The Luxury Line trim, on the other hand, emphasizes elegance and sophistication. It includes chrome exterior trim, upgraded leather upholstery, and wood interior accents for a touch of luxury and refinement.
The M Sport trim is for those seeking a more performance-oriented experience. It comes with a more aggressive front bumper, aerodynamic side skirts, and an M Sport suspension for improved handling and a sportier appearance.
Design and Handling
The BMW 2 Series 2015 boasts a sleek and athletic design that captures attention on the road. Its low-slung profile, sculpted lines, and iconic kidney grille give it a distinctive and sporty look. The wide track and short overhangs further enhance the car's athletic stance.
When it comes to handling, the BMW 2 Series 2015 excels. The rear-wheel drive setup provides exceptional balance and handling dynamics. With precise steering and responsive handling, this compact luxury car offers a thrilling driving experience.
Key Differences Between Generations
In the year 2015, BMW produced two generations of the 2 Series: the F22 and the F87.
The F22, introduced from 2014, features a classic design with traditional BMW styling cues. It has a balanced and refined appearance, emphasizing elegance and sophistication. On the other hand, the F87, introduced in 2015, is the high-performance M2 model. It features a more aggressive and muscular design, with larger air intakes, flared wheel arches, and a quad exhaust system.
While both generations offer an exceptional driving experience, the F87 M2 takes it to another level with its powerful engine, enhanced performance features, and track-ready capabilities.
In conclusion, the BMW 2 Series 2015 is an impressive luxury compact car that offers a blend of style, performance, and technology. With its powerful engine options, available modifications, and elegant design, it caters to a wide range of driving preferences. Whether you're looking for a comfortable daily driver or a thrilling performance car, the BMW 2 Series 2015 delivers.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
