BMW 2 SERIES
BMW’s 2017 BMW 2 Series now features the latest generation of BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder inline engines. The advances in dynamics and efficiency in these new vehicles are communicated by the new model designation.
The 2017 BMW 230i Coupe and BMW 230i Convertible are powered by the latest generation 4-cylinder 2.0-liter engine, featuring an even smoother power deliver and efficiency with increased horsepower and torque (248 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft.).
The M Performance Model with the 2017 BMW M240i Coupe and BMW M240i Convertible feature a new inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine that develops 335 hp, and an impressive 369 lb-ft of torque.
The 3.0-liter unit with further developed M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology is a product of the BMW Group’s latest engine generation. With an acceleration time of as little as 4.2 seconds from 0-to-60 mph, it is 0.2 seconds quicker than its predecessor.
The available six-speed manual gearbox fitted in the BMW M240i models offers a rev matching function to deliver exceptionally smooth gear changes. On downshifts, the transmission management increases shift comfort by initiating a quick and precise rev matching function; as the driver shifts into a lower gear, this increases the engine’s revs to the ideal level for the target gear.
The latest-generation 6-cylinder inline engine is combined with the latest version of the 8-speed Steptronic Sport Automatic transmission. This improved transmission, with its wider gear spread also has further improved internal efficiency. The 8-speed Steptronic Sport Automatic transmission provides top-class shift dynamics featuring a Launch Control function delivering traction-optimized acceleration off the line.
