BMW 2 Series 2017: A Classic Blend of Performance and Luxury
The BMW 2 Series has established itself as a fierce competitor in the compact luxury car segment since its introduction in 2014. The 2017 model year carries on this tradition, offering a range of technical specifications, engine versions, trim levels, and design improvements that make it an exciting choice for car enthusiasts.
Technical Specifications
The BMW 2 Series 2017 boasts impressive technical specifications that enhance its performance and handling capabilities. It is available in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations, providing flexibility to suit different driving preferences and conditions. The length of the 2 Series varies between 174.7 and 175.9 inches, with a wheelbase ranging from 105.9 to 106.0 inches. With a width of 69.8 inches and a height of 55.8 inches, the 2 Series displays an athletic stance that reflects its sporty nature.
The vehicle's weight distribution is nearly equal between the front and rear axles, ensuring optimal balance and agility on the road. Additionally, the 2 Series features advanced suspension systems, such as the optional Adaptive M Suspension, which continuously adjusts damping to provide the utmost comfort or dynamic performance, depending on the driving mode selected.
Modifications
BMW has made several modifications to the 2 Series for the 2017 model year. One notable update is the inclusion of LED headlights and taillights as standard across all trims, enhancing both safety and aesthetics. Additionally, the front and rear bumpers have been subtly restyled to give the 2 Series a sharper and more refined appearance.
Engine Versions
The 2017 BMW 2 Series offers an array of engine options that cater to different power preferences. The base model, known as the 230i, is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine propels the 230i from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. For those seeking even more exhilaration, the M240i model comes with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine, generating an impressive 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This enables the M240i to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 4.2 seconds.
Trim Levels
The BMW 2 Series 2017 is available in three trim levels: 230i, M240i, and M2. The entry-level 230i offers a comprehensive range of standard features, including keyless ignition, automatic climate control, and a 6.5-inch infotainment system with BMW's iDrive interface. Stepping up to the M240i adds sportier enhancements such as larger wheels, sport-tuned suspension, and an upgraded audio system. The range-topping M2 takes performance to another level with enhanced aerodynamics, sport exhaust, and more aggressive styling.
Design
The design of the BMW 2 Series 2017 accentuates its sporty personality. From the signature kidney grille to the muscular lines and sleek silhouette, the 2 Series exudes a sense of dynamic elegance. The interior reflects BMW's commitment to luxury and driver-focused ergonomics. High-quality materials, comfortable seating, and cutting-edge technology create a premium ambiance for both the driver and passengers.
Handling
The BMW 2 Series is renowned for its precise and responsive handling. The well-tuned chassis, balanced weight distribution, and precise steering provide an engaging driving experience. With its compact size and nimble characteristics, the 2 Series effortlessly conquers both tight city streets and winding country roads. Regardless of trim or engine choice, the BMW 2 Series delivers a blend of agility, comfort, and control.
Two Generations of the 2 Series in 2017
In 2017, there were two generations of the BMW 2 Series: the F22 and the G42. The F22 was the first generation, which debuted in 2014 and ended in 2020. The G42, on the other hand, began production in 2021 and is the current generation of the 2 Series.
The key differences between the two generations lie primarily in design and technology. The F22 featured a more rounded and compact design, while the G42 adopts a more aggressive and angular styling language. Additionally, the G42 comes equipped with the latest BMW technology advancements, including an updated infotainment system and advanced driver assistance features.
In terms of performance, the G42 offers improved engine options with increased horsepower and torque figures, ensuring an even more thrilling driving experience. Overall, the second-generation BMW 2 Series builds upon the success of the first generation, enhancing both aesthetics and performance.
In conclusion, the BMW 2 Series 2017 is a remarkable compact luxury car that combines performance and luxury seamlessly. With its technical specifications, engine versions, trim levels, design enhancements, and exceptional handling, it is a standout choice for car enthusiasts. The two generations of the 2 Series in 2017 highlight BMW's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring that the model remains at the forefront of the luxury car market.
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.
