BMW 2-Series [aka 1-Series Coupe] Pictures!
Freshly scanned from this morning's Auto Express just for you lot :)
The 2-Series range will kick off on 2006 with a 1.6 litre entry-level machine, using the 116i's 115bhp four-banger unit. A more powerful 150bhp 2.0 litre petrol model will also be offered, along with 2.0 litre diesels producing 122bhp or 163bhp. These will be the 218d and 220d.
The 225i is anticipated to debut BMW's all-new 2.4 litre four-cylinder Valvetronic engine, which will develop around 220bhp. All cars except the entry-level 26i will come with a choice of 6-speed manual or semi-auto transmissions, while the base model will have a five-speed 'box.
BMW plans for the 2 range to cost £1,000 more than the 1-Series across the board, while a cabriolet is expacted to appear in 2007, possibly with a folding metal roof, alongside the 300bhp 3.0 litre M1 and M2. The seperation of hatch and coupe models is set to continue elsewhere at BMW. The next-generation 3-Series Coupe will most lkely be banged the 4-Series. [Extracted from Auto Express Issue 803]
