BMW’s 2 Series Coupe is the last small rear-driven car in its lineup. The only thing is, it’s not really that small anymore and it’s not all that light either. Ciro De Siena reviews the latest sports coupe from BMW to see if he can figure out what’s going on at BMW.
When BMW pursued a front-wheel-drive layout for their popular 1 Series model, it certainly made sense from a business point of view. The platform could underpin the Mini products and an xDrive version could underpin some of the smaller BMW SUVs.
However, this left the 2 Series high and dry. With no compact, rear-wheel-drive platform available, BMW had to base the new 2022 2 Series on the underpinnings of the 3 Series.
The result is a much heavier, much more expensive 2 Series. So we sent our video journalist, Ciro De Siena, out to the world-famous Franschoek Pass to try and answer the question, what has the 2 Series become?
