BMW has been busy updating its product lineup lately. On Wednesday, the automaker introduced the updated 2 Series, and if you can spot the changes, you'll Really Get to know your BMW. Sales begin in August, and a small price increase will take the entire lineup to more than $40,000.
As far as we know, there are no mechanical changes for the 2 Series, with the 230i’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the M240i’s 3.0-liter six-cylinder remaining as before. That means 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque for the former, and 382 hp and 369 lb-ft for the latter. Both come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, with xDrive all-wheel drive a $2,000 option.
| Model | Price 2025 | Price 2024 |
| 230i | Rp. 40,375,000 | Rp. 39,795,000 |
| 230i xDrive | Rp. 42,375,000 | Rp. 41,795,000 |
| M240i | Rp. 51,275,000 | Rp. 50,695,000 |
| M240i xDrive | Rp. 53,275,000 | Rp. 52,695,000 |
On the outside, the updated 2 Series isn’t too special. There’s a new optional “M Sport Professional” package with black trim and an additional spoiler. And BMW has added a few new color options, including the Vegas Red you see here, and Zandvoort Blue, which was previously exclusive to the M2 but is now available for the M240i.
The highlight of the interior is the infotainment system that runs BMW’s iDrive 8.5 system, which is a little easier to use than the previous version. There’s also new standard ambient lighting integrated into the climate control vents. That’s cool, I think. There’s also a new steering wheel design, including a flat-bottomed wheel for the sportier version, and heated seats are now standard.
So, there’s not a lot that’s revolutionary here, but the 2 Series isn’t lacking in much either. It remains the ideal entry point for classic BMW driving dynamics.
