BMW 2 Series Engines and Transmissions

A typical BMW 2 Series engine is a small turbocharged unit paired with either a manual or the Steptronic automatic. The 218i 1.5 Cabrio shows the entry gasoline powertrain with rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox, while the 220d 2.0 Coupe combines diesel torque, an automatic transmission and all-wheel drivetrain traction.

BMW 2 Series Trims and Equipment

BMW 2 Series trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it. The 218i 1.5 AT Steptronic Coupe, for example, appears as 218i Advantage and 218i Luxury Line: the mechanics stay identical, while the equipment, cabin materials and styling details differ between the two.
