I just changed from Mercedes coupes to this BMW SERIES 2 GRAND COUPE. I BEEN A MERCEDES FAN SINCE THE 90S TIL NOW. MY HUSBAND THINK BMW IS A DRIVERS CAR. I HAVEN'T TRY BMW BEFORE, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO DRIVE ONE. ALSO THIS CAR IS THE SAME LOOKING CAR WITH MY OLD MERC. MY HUSBAND PUT EXTRA HEATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND TOUCH HANDLE TO OPEN. WILL FIND OUT SOON...
Not her perfectly judged review. I test drove one of these and was really impressed with the performance. It won’t offer the same drive as a rear wheel coupe but for a real world car it’s excellent. Cars have become huge. If you don’t want that but need 4 door practicality and a decent boot then this ticks all those boxes.
Same, I had the 330i tuned, I actually found the power too much, I always ended up driving far too quickly and it got kind of dangerously addictive!! This is great as you can get max out the revs without having to worry about being out of control
I bought my 218i back in February, beautiful car love the design and interior. You don’t buy this for the power but the design is stunning in person, must get a black grille and the upgraded 19” wheels.
@@rivervalegroup it’s only my second car and I’m in my early-mid 20s so I found it very stylish, comfortable and somewhat affordable. Coming from a VW I wouldn’t go back
Gotta say, these are one of those cars that look much better in real life. It deffo stands out with that ass and even the grills. Brilliant sporty look, amazing features with tech pack, great value for money i think and as a family, kids and mrs love it too.
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. We have an hour-long version of this review which goes more in-depth about the interior. Hope this helps 👍 ua-cam.com/video/WZpb4Lr3JlM/v-deo.html

Well so far (a month in) and I have to say I understand why some folks love the BMW it is without dought a beautiful car, it drives just like a BMW should deffo feel engaged more with the road acceleration is responsive as well as the brakes. If I was to say anything about this car is if you use it in sports mode be prepared to make regular petrol stops but that being said it's worth it.

I hear this a lot but what are you comparing it to? The quality over a Ford or Vauxhall let’s say is a totally different level so are you really just paying for the badge?

@@rivervalegroup I've had it for a couple of weeks now. Easy to drive, good ergonomics, comfortable, and it has the smoothest gearbox I have had in a car. Happy chappie :)
I’ve just ordered a M235i GC with adaptive suspension and thus the 18inch wheels which I am informed is the best configuration for handling. Got to wait 6 months for delivery though!
@@AzzurroWolf hi Steve yes I have mate and apart from missing the low down grunt of my former 330d MSport I am liking its handling and contrary to many of the reviews on YT would still say she is very much a BMW as unlike Audis I get a smile on my face every time I drive her 😀👍
She was delivered on the 1st September and only thing I’ve done is put some better quality registration plates on her and ceramic coated the better looking than in the brochure 18 inch alloys.
I understand the dislike from BMW fans... but how comparable is it to most of the other Euro 2.0L turbo AWD cars? because the vast majority of those are very well received.. So which is it, is it a terrible car? or just not a classic BMW?
I had a choice between the 2 gran coupé and a couple of other bmx models. I am 6ft and the minute I *tried* to fit myseld on the drivers's seat, I immediately know it doesn't matter how cool the car looks and feels - I simply couldn't fit. I mean many bmw's feel tight, but this is definitely not for big men; I would expect such a car to come out of Japan.
that doesn't make any sense becuz i'm 6"4 and i fit perfectly in it....lol even if the chair was far back i was so very comfortable! 😂 currently daily drive one and ya i wish backseat area was bigger but i love it nonetheless!
@@KareemKayy I had moved the chair both to the back and as low as possible, and my head was touching the ceiling... It's a pity, because I like its looks but it's definitely a small BMW. In the end I could fit in the X2 just barely, so I chose that one.
@@philipsparrow7377 mostly bmw drivers use power to accelerate rather than feel the curve,you can enjoy in fwd car also it is all depend on your driver skills,95% bmw owners buy bmw not what that car can give you..
Based it on a Mazda I would say. Ford have done the same with the Focus and the latest 1 series is that dull they have started bolting things onto to it to draw some attention. No doubt they are a fantastic drive but god they are becoming dull. I have driven BMW for years. The F10 was fantastic, of which I have had 3 and currently on my 3rd f21 Shadow Edition. Either going to keep this one or look at the Audi A3 fastback because it looks like Audi are finally sorting the exterior of their cars out 🤔
Are you a fan of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe?
Its a fishing rod hatch not ski hatch 🤪
Yes we own one it a great car and hard to get from bmw
Yes, I pick my brand new one up tomorrow.
Yes

Got mine through lease from work, 220i M Package, its even great for a 6,7“ Person.
Im loving it.
Very nice Marc! Keep enjoying your 2 Series 👍
I love mine...love the performance, smooth drive, easy to control. I’m also loving the all many features they have on it.
That's fantastic to hear! Glad you're enjoying the Gran Coupe 👌
Me too

I got one last week, 2020 but only 4k miles on the clock.
I love it,

After 8 months, would you still recommend?
Just ordered ine (lease trough work) Going from a mazda3 to this. I went to look at it at the dealer and it looks extremely nice in real life.
We hope you enjoy your new car! Let us know how you find it 👍
Are you still enjoying it ?

How is fuel economy ?

Oh and amazing review, very in depth, will recomend to others to check your reviews before they buy anything.
Thanks very much for watching Avi, we appreciate your support 👍 Are you thinking about getting a new car soon?
We've had ours for over a year now and it's such a nice car compared to our series 1.
Since the door design is a bit different than a standard sedan, do we hear more road noise ?
Is the screen touch screen??
Interior review too short. Big concern about the back seat

I am not a BMW fan by any means but this one caught my eye for sure. Might even get one in the near future.

Nice but your paying a lot for that badge on the front so pass but another excellent review 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Doc!
I hear this a lot but what are you comparing it to? The quality over a Ford or Vauxhall let’s say is a totally different level so are you really just paying for the badge?
@@tr3v87 The quality is good but like Audi your over paying for the name as well.
you're not paying for the badge, you are paying for the materials and build quality, it's a price worth paying.
Looks way better than an a3 coupe outside and in. Also way cheaper ! No brainer

Beautiful car
Couldn't agree more, Nasr!
Not sure on this one the back end is not to nice and the wheels look to small.
I think I will stick to my series 3
There are bigger 19 inch wheels that look much better, got those on my 2 series

not possible, i'm 6ft 4 LOL again four inches taller than you 😂 and i made it
@@agkinares then again i have a m235i so idk if you have a diff model that's smaller idk
I bought one
Whats your verdict?
Little less 'ultimate drivers machine' and a little more 'JOY'.....
Yes and rear drive dynamic is showen on wet or snowy road..Ordinary driver will be faster in fwd car than rwd...
@@Tom-uk2ow Branding issue mate... not a "faster" thing, what do you think of the "JOY" branding?
@@philipsparrow7377 mostly bmw drivers use power to accelerate rather than feel the curve,you can enjoy in fwd car also it is all depend on your driver skills,95% bmw owners buy bmw not what that car can give you..
@@Tom-uk2ow Yeah Nah, just trolling now....your missing the point. plz do not reply...
Android Auto on a BMW? That's new I think??
Wow super coler black
We're glad you like it! Interested in getting one?
I like car bro
Good thing but the coupe would be a better buy for me
