What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 2 Series Coupé is fun and balanced to drive, with a well-built, easy-to-use interior, excellent infotainment and decent practicality for a coupé. The common criticisms are a firm ride on the standard M Sport suspension, some road noise, tight rear seats and a high price; Auto Express also noted a middling safety rating.
