The 2nd-generation BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, 0.7 inches longer and one inch higher on the same 105.1 inch wheelbase, is powered by a 241 horsepower 2-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine mated to the latest generation of the 7-speed DCT with fully electric actuation and a widened gear ratio spread in the 228 xDrive Gran Coupe. The M235 xDrive Gran Coupe is powered by a 312 horsepower 2.0-liter engine paired with a 7-speed Steptronic Dual Clutch Transmission with standard shift paddles on the steering wheel. The standard BMW Curved Display has a 10.25-inch Information Display and a Control Display with a screen diagonal of 10.7 inches. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe now includes BMW Live Cockpit Plus with the cloud-based navigation system BMW Maps. BMW Live Cockpit Professional is available in combination with the BMW Head-Up Display and Parking Assistant Plus in the optional Technology Package, which also includes Augmented View on the Control Display and the Drive Recorder. A 12-speaker Harmon/Kardon premium sound system is newly standard, as is Comfort Access keyless entry, wireless device charging, and auto dimming interior and exterior mirrors. BMW Digital Key Plus enables the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to be unlocked and locked via smartphone or smartwatch using security-optimized ultra-wideband wireless technology, making a conventional key fob unnecessary.
