But will it happen?
The Bavarian company’s latest BMW 2 Series move is undoubtedly one of its most surprising. The lack of visual connection to BMW’s recent models makes it almost look like a model from another manufacturer. It’s not something we hate, but it’s not something we love. We will need to see it in person before we can make an informed decision. Here’s an interesting idea.
X-Tomi Design It took only two days to transform the 2 Series Coupe into an open top vehicle. This is an illustration of the possibilities. Convertible 2 Series Based on official images of this new coupe. It is finished in the same funky purple as the car from the press photos.
You may be wondering if BMW actually has a convertible version for the new 2 Series. That is something we are also curious about, though there are some indications that it may arrive within one year of the November launch of the new coupe. Although it’s not yet official, we expect the automaker to confirm it within the next few months.
The new 2 Series will be available in two versions at the moment. The base model in America is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 255 horsepower (190kW) and 295 pound feet (400 Newton-meters), respectively. The 240ixDrive’s turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine produces 382 horsepower (285 kW) at its peak and has a maximum torque output of 369 lbft (500 Nm).
Purists won’t be pleased to learn that the 2 Series will be available exclusively with an Automatic Gearbox. A rear-wheel-drive version is in development, but it will not have the stick-shift.
