Just purchased a 2020 230 xdrive. One of the main reasons was the size is right having comfort and practicality but still feels really sporty. Put it into sport mode and you feel like you are driving a sports car with instantaneous acceleration and great road holding ability. The ZF 8 speed transmission always seems to be in the right gear and in comfort mode highway drives are quiet and relaxed. Most new BMW’s have been upsized but this reminds me of my 2001 330i which I really loved being a true drivers car. Thanks for highlighting so many of the 2’s great qualities.

This is a good video so good i thought it was commercial for bmw at one point lmao

Great review, have a 2015 225d for nearly a year now and it's great. Identical to yours but with black leather and love the auto box too. Can't think of any other car that could replace it.

What a great video. I'm in the market for a car at the moment and after reading the spec sheet of a 2015 228i, I realized it had all that I wanted. Now in my enthusiasm and research, I ended up here, and it has only made my excitement about one stronger. Praying to find a manual in my budget, but you can never go wrong with ZF.

Wow. Great review. Finally, someone talking about the 2 series who isn't a College frat boy. Thank you.

Love this car and your video!

Amazing stuff, I agree with all of it, cargo space is unreal. I would add that there is even an Xdrive version for people like me who get snow for months out of a year. And with purchasing the 4cyl version I am capable of achieving 35mpg on the highway in eco-mode. The ability to have a snow-going, economic, but 5 second sports car is a dream come true. I only paid 23K for mine with 20K miles. Find me a car that does all that with a luxury badge for 30K

I, like you, think the 228 is a beautifully designed automobile. My 228 has the eighteen inch wheels which match well with the overall dimensions of the car, in fact, I think they're the perfect size. Any larger or smaller size would spoil the harmony. My favorite angle of view is the low and front 3/4 shot. The hood and fender seem just a little longer in a supermodel leggy type of way at that angle. I agree with your great review completely.

Just got my 19’ M230 and I absolutely love the car in all aspects (first time BMW owner as well). After seeing this video I have a new found appreciation for the amazing machinery I’ve got my hands on. Great vid!

New to the 2series-life. I bought a 218d a few months back, im absolutely in LOVE with the car. How it handles, how it feels in the interior, looks... Best daily driver. Also allows quite alot of sporty driving, even as a diesel.

I had a m235i. Sold it looking for something else just as fun and practical. Nope it,ain’t out there bought a m240 convertible and it is the best car. Fun, powerful and a convertible when you have the weather. Good video explains what owners already know.

RWD/AWD, auto/manual, diesel/gas, 4/6 cylinders, coupe/convertible, track beast or comfy daily driver... there's a 2 Series for almost everyone out there. Love the subtle, handsome styling. Interior materials aren't unreal and the car lacks a few toys, but the ergonomics and build quality are top notch. I'm just glad BMW still has the balls to offer a sporty coupe with a longitudinal engine, rear-biased driving characteristics, and a 6 cylinder. A standout in its class for sure in this day and age. BMW put a lot of effort into a car that doesn't sell nearly as much as their other models, and I hope coronavirus doesn't affect the future of the next 2 Series because it's absolutely a car that doesn't need to exist but I love that it does.

What do u do for living

I own a 17 220d manual. Although it’s a replacement to the 1 series coupe, I think it fits the gap between the e92 and the 1 series. 4 series looks loads bigger then the e92. The manual feels great to use and it’s definitely a pretty car. 220d js fun but almost a bit boring, but ig that’s bc it’s a diesel and I haven’t really had any chance to have fun it in, despite doing 5k miles in 3 months. Definitely happy I chose it over a golf gtd though. Got mine for a really good price with every option ticked minus 2 (no harmen kaaden which doesn’t bother me and no pro nav). Red heather leather seats, heated steering wheel, sun roof, dual zone climate etc. it’s an amazing car all around, just wish that 6th gear was longer as I’d like to sit around 1700rom at 70mph rather than 2k

I just brought one of these and I’m in love with it

Glad a channel like yours exists and that you picked the lighter 4-pot model as it seems like so many others go for the M235/240i instead. I have a 15 228i m-sport as well but in silver. My last car was a F30 328i in that beautiful estoril blue but unfortunately was totaled by a drunk driver who blew right through the intersection. I guess the silver lining is that it got me into this 2er instead which I've enjoyed more. Excited to follow your experiences with this car!

Nice review. I really liked the look of the 1 series which this model basically replaced. But I think my 228i makes for a better daily driver with still plenty of performance.

I recently purchased a 2021 2 series Gran Coupe. Mileage is great (25/26 locally. Only disappointment is that doors do not feel solid when closing and vanity mirrors lack illumination. For over 40000 does it cost that much to add a light to the vanity mirror?

I have a 1 series m Sport convertible and a new shape Audi A3 Cabriolet, the 1 series has hydraulic steering and hard suspension and the Audi has sports suspension but the chassis is so stiff due to the MQB platform so deals with poor road surfaces better, but has electric steering which doesn't have the same natural feel as the BMW. I actually love both

Everything you said is true...subscribed.

Great video and very insightful stuff on a wonderful car. What year is this car? How many miles were on it when you got it? I did some research on it and you can get great buys for that same model that is just a few years old and that is under 30,000 miles.

It’s a 2015 and had 47,000 miles when I bought it. There are good deals on these as pre owned, there’s not doubt that depreciation can be our friend.

Aside from the front end it reminds me of my MK6 Jetta. It has AWD and more power...which are the things I want more of though.

I bought a 2014 228i and I'm loving it. But I want a black interior trim set and I can't find it to buy.

I have to admit after many years owning and driving probably 50 different cars of all price ranges expensive and cheap the 220i I rented was probably the best car I’ve ever driven. I thought I was just saying that to myself until I saw your video. After renting it so many times I think I’m going to buy one next

Thank you, very thoughtful job. The only downside I see, is this is more an infomercial than a review in that we did not hear any cons, just pros. And any/all cars have some cons, even if minor. Also, nothing on mileage, and predicted reliability. We all know parts and service for any BMW can be very high, so not needing a lot of repairs is a key consideration for most of us. Just the same, very dignified run down of the car, really enjoyed it, and you.

What a great review! i have watched so many reviews this week as we searched for our next car and none told the story of this car as you have. I'm used to BMW 3 size cars and I've been having a hard time thinking about getting something a little smaller, but i know i really should. i looked at the 1 Series, a nice enough car, a step too far for me. It didn't make sense to me that no one made a nice car to fit the Series 2 space. The Audi A3 is horrid, so dated, like something from the 90's. Mazda3 a maybe, or even the 6, but nahh. You have shown me what i wanted to believe. The 2 Series can be the midsize car while not making me feel cramped, missing features or, worst of all, slow! M Sport looks perfect. Thank you!

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thought the rear 3/4 view angle of the 2 series looks better than the 4 series or those Grand Coupe variants from BMW. Very classy and well proportioned design and very close to the E46 generation 3 series.

Have you tried out the previous generation E82 135i coupe ? If you can put the 2 series modern tech to one side and focus on the driving experience its amazing. Has so much feedback from the road surface and sharp throttle response. It rolls through corners and grips with very little understeer if you're on equal sized Michelins all round. Mine has a birds bmw LSD diff and suspension upgrade with 225 40 18s. Comfortable with great body control and so much extra traction from the magic Diff. The steering is very good perfectly medium weighted. I found the 2 series steering a bit too light for me and dead feedback. Nothing coming back to the driver about the road. Many people love all the 2 series Tech but I prefer a simple sat nav thats actually a good map and I hate stop start engine thing at the traffic lights. You may find this strange but I rejected the 240i because of the dead steering and too much technology overload. I want to drive the car myself without technology interfering thank you very much.

Yes, I love the 1 series and I think, as you say, it’s a fantastic mix of size, straight ahead driving feel and eschews the glitzy tech. Sadly, they’ve been in such demand they’re were more expensive than my budget for a straight ahead track car and lacked some of the things I wanted in a daily.

I love my 2017 230 xDrive. I live in Cleveland, so having AWD makes it a perfect year rounder. It's great in the city and even better on the highway (40mpg).

Very informative thank you.i own the 218i coupe and agree its the best looking car bmw have ever made

I think one of the biggest reasons that they put the manual in there is because of how bad the enthusiast crowd freaked out over them taking it out of the 3 series. Heresy!

@@BetweenTheWheels thank you for your prompt reply. i looked at the new 2 as well. i didnt like the design and especially the backlights. i think mine looks better then the new 2. i am really in a state to change to 4 or stay with my own 218i, which looks beautiful and especially the mineral grey with beige seats.. i dont know if you saw it, on the 4 series they made this dravit grey colour which, on the sun when you look at it, it gets oily green colour .. i dont like it at all.. this is also something that keeps me back not going to the 420.

Sweet review. How do you like the 4 door 2-series?

Thanks! Not a fan of the 4 door. Not the same drivetrain as the F22 and the styling doesn’t work for me.

Hey how's the reliability like for this car? Is it expensive or difficult to maintain?

Fantastic. Zero issues. I do my own maintenance and I’m a bit over the top so, three oil changes in 7 thousand miles and track ready brake pads. If this was just a daily driver it would be even cheaper.

Any updates? Currently looking at a 2021 2 series with 56K. Clean carfax.

I had nothing but great experiences with that car. Solid and fun. If I was interested in tuning it, it would have done well under those conditions too. Ultimately my own lust for more sex appeal in a car drove me to my current ride (see below), or I’d still have the 2 series. Great car.

As a 228I owner I totally agree

Coming from a 1 series 120d coupe 2009 remapped 223bhp manual looking buying a 220i coupe auto 2 series 190bhp first auto do you think this is a smart move ?

I haven’t driven the diesels or a 220. The 228 is 240 HP and it’s plenty for the street, decent on track. I’d say 190 might feel a bit underpowered.

How did the chipping worked for you would you reccomend it or did you get engine issues

Can someone explain whats the difference between the series cars (like 2 series/3 series) and M2/3?

Check out bmwusa.com (or the bmw site in your country). 2 series is the smallest in the range. 3 series used to be 2 and 4 door cars of various engine size and trim level and then 4 series became the 2 door 3 series. 2 series was supposed to be a 2 door but then added 4 door version…. 2 series comes in three flavors - 4 cylinder 228/230, 6 cylinder 235/240 and 6 cylinder M car - M2.

Yeah that would be a hell of a first car but u know, the first one is usually the one that u could damage with rookie mistakes so maybe get a less valuable car for ur first
