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. The 228 xDrive is the fuel economy leader of the 2 Series Gran Coupe lineup, with an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 30 mpg in combined driving. The M235 xDrive drops to 24/33 mpg city/highway, and 27 mpg combined.

Which BMW 2 Series trim should I buy?

The 2025 BMW 2 Series offers these trims:

• 228 xDrive Gran Coupe: Best value if you want the entry point into the lineup with 241 horsepower, standard all-wheel drive, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and a 10.7-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

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 usually give you more choices on trim, mileage, and price, which makes it easier to find a version that fits your budget and feature priorities. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so inventory depth can make the buying process smoother.

What is the BMW 2 Series's resale value?

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. A few older years are much steadier, and one year is even up slightly, so the pricing picture is not uniform across the lineup. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer models, which can create stronger opportunities if you want recent features without paying new-car pricing.

The 2015 and 2016 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2018, 2015, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
