Introduced last year, the 2 Series coupes will be joined for 2015 by xDrive versions (all-wheel drive) and a pair of convertibles. The Active Tourer crossover will soon be added to the 2 Series family, despite its front-wheel drive and luxury Rondo looks. For the moment, the rear-drive coupes feature a 241-hp turbo four (228i) and 322-hp turbo straight-six (M235i). Both share a six-speed manual, while optional automatics have six (228i) or eight (M235i) gears.
