<< Prev Page 2 of 2  From day one, the development process for the new BMW 2 Series Coupe was focused on leading the way in the premium compact segment in terms of dynamic performance. Compact dimensions, intelligent lightweight design for the body and chassis, near perfect 50:50 weight distribution and optimized aerodynamics create a vehicle with a true excellent sporting pedigree. The agility, steering precision and cornering dynamics of the new BMW 2 Series Coupe are significantly improved over the predecessor model. Wider tracks, carefully adjusted wheel camber values and an up to 12 percent increase in static torsional rigidity for the body all play a role. While the new BMW 2 Series Coupe exceeds its predecessor in terms of performance, the comfort levels it offers in everyday use remain at the same high level.A two-joint spring strut front suspension and a five-link rear suspension both contribute to precisely controllable handling in dynamic driving situations and for a high level of long-distance driving comfort. The rigidity of the components used in the two-joint spring-strut front suspension brings even more precise wheel control to the new BMW 2 Series Coupe. The new BMW M240i xDrive Coupe has additional struts supporting the front axle hubs on the side sills. A hydraulically damped tension strut mount minimizes vibration and oscillation. Aluminum suspension arms and swivel bearings reduce unsprung mass. In addition, the five-link-rear suspension helps to ensure precise wheel location thanks to the exceptional stiffness of its subframe and suspension arms. The suspension’s dual-elastic bearing also enhances ride comfort. The combination of steel and aluminum components helps reduce unsprung mass of the rear suspension. The introduction of a new generation of wheel bearings cuts weight by around 6-pounds compared with the predecessor model. The new wheel bearings also boost the efficiency of the new BMW 2 Series Coupe by reducing friction levels by up to 45 percent. The lift-related shock absorber technology provides extra damping to control body movement when driving over large bumps and inhibits excessive dive. The system reacts to minor imperfections in the road surface with low damping forces that produce high levels of comfort. The extra damping meanwhile contributes to excellent behavior in corners. At the front suspension, an additional element that drops down into the inner sleeve of the shock absorber cancels out body vibrations. The lift-related control at the rear suspension employs an additional piston and a tapered inner tube to ensure optimum hydraulic damping, even when carrying a heavy load. Lift-related damping is an active element of the suspension set-up and can be tuned specifically to optimize the balance between sport and comfort. The optional M Sport suspension brings firmer responses for the lift-related dampers and springs. The Adaptive M suspension, standard on the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupe, allows drivers the widest possible spread between sport and comfort-oriented settings. The Adaptive M suspension combines the characteristics of M Sport suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers. Continuously adjustable valves allow the damping force to be adjusted at each wheel individually and as a function of vehicle load. Switching between the various Driving Experience Control modes produces a clearly perceptible variation in the damping characteristics – from the well-balanced long-distance comfort of COMFORT mode through to the highly dynamic set-up activated in SPORT PLUS. The ADAPTIVE setting, the steering, damping and accelerator responses along with the transmission’s shift characteristics are automatically adjusted to suit the driving style. Navigation data can also be used to proactively prepare the car in advance for an upcoming intersection or corner. The model-specific electric power steering systems for the new BMW 2 Series Coupe makes them exceptionally precise. Servotronic speed-sensitive power steering is standard on the 230i Coupe. Variable Sport steering is standard on the M240i xDrive Coupe and is part of the optional M Sport Package for the 230i Coupe. Variable Sport steering offers a variable ratio which adjusts according to the steering angle, allowing it to provide both directional stability and agile cornering response. Parking and low speed maneuvering require significantly less steering effort while changing between COMFORT and SPORT modes brings a noticeable difference in steering effort. The new BMW 230i Coupe comes equipped with standard 18-inch light-alloy wheels and 225/45R18 all-season runflat tires. A wide selection of optional 18-inch and 19-inch alloy wheels and tires are available, either individually or as part of optional packages. This includes 18-inch wheels with 225/45R18 front and rear non-runflat all-season tires or 225/45R18 front and 255/40R18 rear performance non-runflat tires, 19-inch wheels with 225/40R19 runflat and non-runflat all-season tires and 19-inch wheels with 225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear alloy wheels with performance non-runflat tires. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupe comes equipped with standard 19-inch M light alloy wheels with 225/40 R19 all-season runflat tires. Available are 19-inch wheels with 225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear performance runflat tires as well as 19-inch wheels with 245/35R19 front and 255/35R19 rear performance non-runflat tires. Powerful lightweight braking systems play an important part in the car’s precisely controllable performance. The optional M Sport brakes (standard on the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupe) provide excellent braking performance and intuitive feel, whether negotiating city streets or pushing hard around a closed course. They feature four-piston front fixed calipers and single-piston rear floating calipers. The calipers, with M logo, are painted blue but can also a red painted finish. Inside the new BMW 2 Series Coupe, sports-car flair meets a premium ambience that represents a clear leap forward from the predecessor model. The latest interpretation of the driver-focused cockpit design is defined by the driver-focused arrangement and operation of the displays and controls. The BMW Controller, gear selector lever, Start/Stop button, Driving Experience Control switch and numerous other function buttons are grouped within a modern-looking control panel in the center console. The design of the interior centers on the engaging driving experience offered by the new BMW 2 Series Coupe. The taper in the roofline, the high center console and the smooth blending of the instrument panel and door panels create a cocoon-like feel for the driver and front passenger. The Easy-Entry function slides the front seats forward when their backrests are folded, making it easier for passengers to access the rear seats. The contours and integrated headrests of the two rear seats give them an individual-seat character, allowing passengers in the rear to enjoy a sense of sporty driving pleasure as well. Standard equipment includes Sport seats and a Sport leather steering wheel with newly designed multifunction buttons. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupe includes a standard moonroof which is optional for the 230i Coupe. The new glass moonroof is 20 percent larger than the moonroof found in the previous model. New Perforated SensaTec in three colors is standard. Optional Vernasca leather upholstery is available in a choice of four colors. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupe and BMW 230i with M Sport Package add an M leather steering wheel, cushioned knee pads on the center console, door sill finishers bearing the M logo, M pedals and an M driver footrest, M floor mats and M-specific displays in the instrument cluster. The standard dual- zone automatic climate control features independent control of the temperature and ventilation settings for the driver’s side, the front passenger side and for the rear passengers. Optional ambient interior lighting provides rich illumination of the interior with precision lighting for the map pockets and door panel trim, the door handles, the footwells, the center console and the storage compartment in front of the selector lever. The new BMW 2 Series Coupe comes standard with driver assistance systems designed to increase safety and drive comfort. Frontal Collision Warning with braking is able to react to moving and stationary vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Lane Departure Warning with lane keep assist, which can be used between 44 – 130 mph, alerts the driver with steering wheel vibrations if they are unintentionally drifting out of their lane and helps them guide the car back onto the correct course with a steering input. The system now analyzes the road conditions more precisely. On extremely narrow roads, the course correction assistance is suppressed so that if a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, the driver can easily move onto the side of the road. Rear cross-traffic alert reduces the danger of a collision when reversing towards roads that are difficult to see into. Now available, Active Blind Spot Detection, alerts the driver to vehicles which are within a critical distance in the adjacent lane or approaching quickly from the rear. The warning takes the form of an illuminating signal in the side mirror. The standard Dynamic Cruise Control with braking function maintains the desired speed set by the driver while automatically braking, if necessary, on down hills and down to a comfortable speed in corners. The optional Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go automatically keeps a safe distance from vehicles travelling ahead – with a choice of four proximity settings. This system works between 19 – 99 mph and is capable of braking the vehicle to a standstill and setting off again automatically after short pauses lasting up to 30 seconds. The new BMW 2 Series Coupe is equipped with a standard rear-view camera and front and rear Park Distance Control (PDC) sensors. The optional Parking Assistance Package helps the driver to select and use parking spaces either parallel or perpendicular to the road. It can also be used for pulling out of spaces parallel to the road. As well as steering inputs, the Parking Assistant carries out acceleration, braking and gear changes required for the maneuver. The Back-Up Assistant, included in the Parking Assistance Package, offers the highly convenient automated reversing in confined spaces or situations where the driver does not have a clear view, such as narrow, windy driveways, over a distance of up to 50 yards. All the driver has to do is operate the accelerator and brake pedal and monitor the vehicle’s surroundings. Additional features in the Parking Assistance Package include Surround View including Top View, Panorama View and 3D View which help to create a 360-degree image of the vehicle and its surroundings, which is shown from various angles in the control display. The Remote 3D View function gives drivers the ability to call up a three-dimensional live image of their vehicle and its immediate vicinity on their smartphone. The optional BMW Drive Recorder, available on cars with Parking Assistance Package, uses the driver assistance systems’ cameras to record video images all around the vehicle, so these can be stored and later either played back on the control display when the vehicle is stationary or exported via the USB interface. It allows the driver to record videos up to 40 seconds in length while driving and in the event of a collision, up to 20 seconds of video taken both before and after the impact (i.e. 40 seconds in total) are stored. The 2022 BMW 2 Series Coupe features a standard BMW iDrive 7 operating system and interface with a center 8.8-inch digital touch screen control display, analog gauges with a 5.1-inch instrument display, Navigation, BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, BMW Digital Key, Real Time Traffic Information, Connected Music and Remote Software Upgrades. The optional BMW Live Cockpit Professional upgrades the instrument cluster to a 12.3-inch fully digital display and increases the standard 8.8-inch center control display to 10.25-inches. The latest generation, optional BMW Head-Up Display – available on the BMW 2 Series Coupe for the first time – boasts a very large projection area and full-color graphics. The information projected by the BMW Head-Up Display includes the car’s speed, speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Check Control messages, status indicators and warnings from the assistance systems, detailed route guidance and turn instructions, and telephone and entertainment lists. The cloud-based BMW Maps Navigation system delivers significantly enhanced performance and accuracy along with a simplified entry method. Fast route calculations are carried out dynamically and are based on precise real-time traffic data transmitted at short intervals. Drivers can enter any word when searching for their destination. The search results are sorted by relevance with a high level of precision. Alternatively, the destination can be entered simply by simply saying it. BMW Maps also uses Connected Parking to aid when searching for a parking space close to the destination. When the driver selects their destination, they receive an indication of the parking situation at the destination for their estimated time of arrival. Shortly before arriving, the driver is given information on the nearest parking garage as well as proposed routes offering a particularly good chance of finding a parking spot close to the destination. The On-Street Parking Information and ParkMobile services have been intelligently incorporated into the functionality of BMW Maps. The latest generation of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant provides a closer connection between driver and car in the new BMW 2 Series Coupe. Naturally formulated spoken instructions can now also be used to adjust the air conditioning. In addition, the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is also capable of learning routines that increase convenience, for instance, the driver’s window can be opened automatically when the vehicle reaches a chosen location entered using GPS coordinates, such as the entrance to a parking garage. The system recognizes whether the driver or front passenger is speaking to it and reacts accordingly by, for example, altering the climate control settings on only one side of the interior. The 2022 BMW 2 Series Coupe comes standard with a 10-speaker Hi-Fi audio system with 205 watts of amplification. The optional Harman Kardon Surround Sound system increases the amplification to 464 watts and the number of speakers to 14. Two USB outlets for charging and data transfer, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi interface and 4G LTE connectivity are standard. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
