Like most new BMW models, the 2022 2-Series has sparked a lot of controversy because of its exterior design. Noted car designer Frank Stephenson was especially outspoken with his critique of the new sports car.
To start out the process of designing our perfect 2-Series, we opted for the flagship M240i xDrive Coupe and immediately selected the Shadowline trim. The configurator then presents you with the available color options, of which there are only seven. Portimao Blue Metallic was our pick but with BMW recently opening its Individual color palette to the 1-Series and 2-Series, we’re sure many owners will opt for something slightly more unique.
Curiously, there are actually more wheel and tires options than paint options. Our M240i xDrive features the 19-inch M Double spoke wheels finished in cerium gray, although it was a toss-up with the 19-inch jet black wheels. In the cabin, we have opted for Tacora Red leather alongside Aluminum Tetragon accents rather than piano black. Various options are also available for the car, including heated front seats and a premium Harman Kardon surround sound system.
