Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The entry level 228 xDrive Gran Coupe is rated at 241 horsepower, which is 13 hp more than the previous version’s powertrain. The M235 xDrive Gran Coupe we drove increases output to 312 hp, which is 10 hp more than its predecessor. These second-generation Gran Coupes feature a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and all-wheel-drive (AWD) is standard. An even more affordable front-wheel-drive (FWD) 228 Gran Coupe is due for the 2026 model year, though.

Which BMW 2 Series trim should I buy?

The 2025 BMW 2 Series offers these trims:

• 228 xDrive Gran Coupe: This entry-level trim brings the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, 241 horsepower, standard all-wheel drive, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, a 10.7-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and a Harman Kardon premium sound system. It suits you if you want the most affordable way into the Gran Coupe with a strong standard equipment list.
• M235 xDrive Gran Coupe: This performance-focused trim adds 312 horsepower, upgraded brakes, a rear spoiler, unique interior trim, sport seats, a sport steering wheel, and a more aggressive setup overall. It also pairs well with the optional M Performance package, which adds a sport suspension, M brakes, M Sport seats, and 19-inch wheels with performance tires. This is the best-value choice if you want the most complete blend of speed and equipment.

What BMW 2 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 2 Series years with the most listings are 2025, 2026, and 2024.

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, mileage, and price. They also usually offer a broader spread of deal quality, so you have more chances to find a strong match.

What is the BMW 2 Series's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show especially sharp drops. That pattern can work in your favor if you’re shopping used, because it creates more room for value on newer examples. A few years are falling only slightly, which suggests some trims and model years are holding closer to their recent pricing.

The 2015, 2024, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
