    Just returned a 2020 228i xdrive to the dealership, had it for 4 days as a loaner vehicle while my car was being serviced. I loved it more than my 3 series. Lane Assist and parking sensors were super cool. Great Review!

      Have to agree. Even my 2019 BMW X3 SUV looks allot sportier then this. Still, it has a nice interior, xdrive, and the 2.0 bi turbo with ZF 8 speed. Those saying you get more for your money buying American or Japanese etc.. will not get the superior drive train that this has. Just unfortunate that the design language is so dull on this one. I do feel the back seat on this is too cramped as far as headroom. That's atypical of BMW. I'd much prefer the spaciousness of the X3 for a few thousand more.

    For everyone saying "buy a Camry or Accord", you haven't driven a current gen BMW. I've driven a 4 series Gran Coupe and an X1. Both of these cars felt solid, planted, quick, and refined. The 4 series felt effortless to drive, much more so than any Camry or Accord I've ever driven. Most people won't feel that BMW's are worth the price, but after driving them, I beg to differ. BMW's are on a different level compared to mainstream cars. They drive sooooooooo good.
    Specs lie. Drive one, and you'll see what a difference smart engineering makes.

    This car was loaned out to me by my BMW dealer as they worked on my M235i. I had it for a week. I was actually surprised by how quick the acceleration was. Didn't feel as big of a downgrade as I thought it would. It was a nice and comfortable car too with a good looking interior. The exterior is pretty ugly but it looks a lot better in person. I know this isn't saying much but the 2 series has come a long way. The last gen 2 series(minus the M2 and M235) were the biggest ripoff. The interior was so cheaply made with lots of plastics my old basic GTI was higher class.

    I just got one. Misano Blue M-sport. Absolutely in love with it, first BMW and the smallest thing I've ever driven lol. Personally I like the styling, the build quality is super nice and boy is it quick and it handles pretty darn good. Surprisingly spacious and good on fuel too. I think the 5.4sec 0-60 Raiti said is accurate vs the quoted 6sec, feels about as snappy as my Taurus SHO which is 5.2 0-60 but I feel the bmw puts the power down better.
    Has excellent visibility out of it too. I absolutely love that about it.
    No its not a 3 series, but it's cheaper than a 3 series. People need to chill and stop being elitist about it

    Hey how are you doing?
    I’ve a question about the rear headroom. you seemed to fit in without a major problem. However I saw several reviews where the person sitting at the back having a lot of trouble and their head was hitting the roof. That seemed to be no big concern for you but a lot of other people have pointed this out as a possible problem. What do you say? Is this a big issue or You are comfortable sitting in the back of the car?
    I Do you know for example what is the exact vertical height in millimeters or inch from the back seat to the roof of the car? I also saw in some websites that the ceiling above has been carved out a little bit so that the passenger can have a bit of headroom.
    The data about the height from the seat to the rooftop would be a fantastic indicator if the car can hold people like me (5.7”) at the back comfortably.

    Has BMW discontinued the 2 series GC after 2021? It would be a shame if they did. Very sporty with the M Sport package. I had one as a loaner, and it's a nice little sedan for folks who feel the 3 series has grown a little too big.

    2020 was good for that car because it came with paddle shifters standard. BMW stopped that in 2021, and you have to get the M-package with the M-style wheel in order to get the paddle shifters. No reason, when a standard lowly Subaru comes with paddle shifters, that BMW can't offer them on a $40K+ car. Greed is good, evidently.

    The next trim up in this 2-series Gran Coupe line (not to be confused with the 2-series coupe - which is RWD -) would be the M235i which, unfortunately, is not a 6cyl but another 4 banger. Probably more comparable to the X2 M235i in engine performance. The 2 coupe is still 2 doors and RWD (230i, 240i and M2Comp).
