    The 2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is so good that it might re-ignite the entire people carrier genre. Might. It's like a mini BMW iX - a car that can cost north of £100,000. Mark explains all.

    I think it’s a really good car, like a Skoda Octavia for posh people. Looking forward to seeing this interior again in the X1

    Think the car you are showing at 9.35 is the previous Gran Tourer (7 seats) rather than the old version of the Active Tourer…just saying 😊 Great review as always.

    I am sorry, but am I correct to assume that you got a HUUUGE phone shelf, but Qi charger is in the middle so if you want to charge, you can have only one phone there, and if you want to have a second, you have to stuck it upside down to connect cable, and then the second will not be aligned with wireless charger?

    I wish it would be better than the latest B class, to have a choice, but not on one thing : The gearbox and the 18d engine are really not as good as what you get with a B200d and its nice gearbox. Sadly...

    Nice, but since July 2023 all BMW Series 2 Active Tourer cars (U06) had entered into a cost cutting phase. The car as presented in the video is not looking the same now. For example, they remove even the glovebox light and currently there is hole there, they remove the nice stitching on the door pannels, they remove the door sills and the wing M badges (for M sport trim) and many others that are not easely observerd. It's a pity since it is the last german car manufacturer that was still keeping the small car segment still with a premium feeling, not just by the price.

    Drawbacks according to the review: 1) no physic climate controils; 2) Dual clutch gearbox instead of a torque converter, 3) No iDrive button to control infotainment. Want a solution? Buy the previous version. I have a 225xe that has all of this, same engine, same power (small battery though). Charges faster than this one and it's a brilliant machine! Materials quality and assembly in my opinion is better than this new version. Practicality: exactly the same. Even the boot has the same capacity,

    I’ve ended up in an SUV just because there is no electric non SUV that fits all the kit I need to carry (and isn’t an MG)… and I won’t buy one again, it’s just not as good to drive as a proper car… so not all the consumers’ fault?
