2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is refreshed with more power, updated tech, and sharper performance. In this episode, we share our first impressions of a 228i xDrive purchased for our test program. From its 241-hp turbocharged engine and new dual-clutch transmission to its front-wheel-drive platform shared with the X1, X2, and Mini Countryman, we break down how it performed on our track. Plus, we evaluate the redesigned touchscreen interface and assess whether BMW's tech updates actually improve the driving experience.. We also answer viewer questions: Can different fuel grades mix at a single gas pump with one nozzle, how can you better compare car ratings on our website, and is a "better-than-average ride" in a sedan equivalent to the same rating in an SUV?
