Why buy a used BMW 2 Series?
There are several distinct versions of BMW 2 Series – a sleek coupe if you’re looking for driving thrills but not so much practicality, a four-door saloon (called the 2 Series Gran Coupe) with a bigger boot than the 1 Series hatchback it’s based on, and a pair of people carriers that put versatility and flexibility far above handling. So while you wouldn’t contemplate the 2 Series coupe if you’ve got a growing family, the broadness of the 2 Series lineup means there’s something to suit a wide cross-section of people – all with the tech and posh materials that BMW is known for.
Popular BMW 2 Series trims for sale at Motorpoint
Regardless of the body style, the M Sport package is one of the most commonly available trim levels for the 2 Series. This adds bigger wheels, sharper bumpers and sporty interior accents. Elsewhere, the Sport trim gives you the must-have equipment and a more streamlined appearance, while the coupe and Gran Coupe both get a fast version – confusingly, it’s the M235i for the four-door Gran Coupe and M240i for the two-door model. Meanwhile, the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer MPV is available in a Luxury trim – highlighting that this BMW isn’t really aimed at driving enthusiasts.
Owning a used BMW 2 Series
The majority of used BMW 2 Series cars come with a petrol engine, which is no bad thing – the 218i is perky and decently economical, capable of well over 40mpg regardless of the body style you’re picking. Diesel engines are rare but are well worth hunting out if the majority of your miles will be on a motorway, where up to 60mpg is achievable. BMW’s three-year warranty isn’t much to shout about, so opting for an extended warranty helps keep you protected if anything does go wrong down the line.

The 2 Series coupe and convertible have few direct rivals, but the Mazda MX-5 and Audi TT are probably the closest. In terms of the Gran Coupe, it’s very closely matched with the Audi A3 Saloon and Mercedes A-Class Saloon (and the CLA). For the 2 Series Active Tourer, its main competitor is the Mercedes B-Class.

Your BMW 2 Series questions answered
Let’s talk about the practical versions first. The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer sport similar MPV styling, with a big boxy cabin space offering front and rear-seat passengers acres of room. The Active Tourer comfortably seats five, while the Gran Tourer adds a third row of seats, taking your potential people-carrying capability up to 7. Both of these cars are front-wheel drive, meaning the engines send their power to the front wheels. The Active Tourer came out in 2014 and was replaced in 2022 by an all-new model, distinguishable by a tall front grille and sharper headlights. The Gran Tourer model wasn’t replaced.
In the polar opposite corner of the 2 Series boxing ring is the 2 Series Coupe. This is a sporty two-door coupe that has also been available as a convertible. It’s a rear-wheel drive car, which makes it feel a bit sportier than other 2 Series models. The first generation of the 2 Series Coupe was made between 2014 and 2021 and included a convertible version, before being replaced by an all-new version that comes as a hard-top only. You can spot the later version by way of its wider front grille and headlights that narrow to a point next to the grille. Both generations had quick M240i versions and a full-blown M2, which is a racetrack-ready, Porsche Cayman-rivalling coupe.
Next up is the 2 Series Gran Coupe. Again, this looks like a sleek saloon, only it’s front (or four) wheel drive and has four doors.
The 2 Series Active Tourer comes in at about 4.4m long – so a bit longer than a BMW 1 Series hatchback. The 2 Series Gran Tourer is longer to accommodate that third row of seats – it measures just shy of 4.6m long, making it a little shorter than a BMW 3 Series saloon.
Over to the sporty ones. The 2014-2021 BMW 2 Series Coupe is 4.4m long, while the newer 2021-onwards 2 Series Coupe grew to just over 4.5m long, but neither will have you worrying about slotting into a parallel parking space.
Likewise, the 2 Series Gran Coupe measures just 4.5m long – so if you’re wondering why all these quite different cars share the name ‘2 Series’, it could just be because they’re a similar length. Crazy, we know.
BMW isn't known for its affordable maintenance costs, and some servicing will be more expensive than mainstream manufacturers like Ford or Kia. But the brand also allows you to take out a monthly servicing plan to keep costs in check. At the time of writing this costs £25 a month, which isn't unreasonable.
Some are, some aren't. The 2 Series Coupe and Convertible are rear-wheel drive, but the 2 Series Active Tourer, Gran Tourer and Gran Coupe are front- or four-wheel drive depending on spec and engine.
