2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe price and specs

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has followed its 1 Series sibling in receiving a significant redesign inside and out.

It’s due in Australia in the first quarter of 2025, priced from $58,800 before on-road costs.

While the cost of entry into the 2 Series Gran Coupe range is about $6000 less than before, the base model now packs a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine instead of a turbo 2.0-litre four.

You’ll still find a turbo 2.0-litre four in the range-topping 2 Series Gran Coupe though, packing an extra 8kW of power, but it’s missing an ‘i’ – it’s now called simply the M235 xDrive.

It also ditches its eight-speed automatic transmission for a seven-speed dual-clutch auto.

The exterior styling has been smoothed out, particularly the tail, while the front end closely resembles that of the latest 1 Series.

Adaptive LED headlights are standard across the range, with matrix high-beam and cornering light functions.

BMW Australia will also add in mid-2025 the option of its BMW Iconic Glow illuminated grille surround.

The sedan now measures 20mm longer at 4546mm and 25mm taller at 1445mm, though width is unchanged at 1800mm and the wheelbase remains 2670mm long.

All Australian-market 2 Series Gran Coupes will come standard with the M Sport package.

BMW says it has increased the rigidity of the 2 Series Gran Coupe’s chassis for improved dynamics, while also introducing “optimised kinematics” and new shock absorber technology. There’s also increased caster offset of the front wheels.

Inside, there’s a fresh look with a larger 10.7-inch infotainment touchscreen running BMW Operating System 9. More functions are now controlled via this screen, with the interior featuring fewer buttons than before.

BMW says its QuickSelect functionality allows you to access more features via the touchscreen without having to burrow through sub-menus thanks to the use of configurable widgets.

There are new seats for greater lateral support, a new steering wheel and a new shifter.

The front- or all-wheel drive 2 Series Gran Coupe continues to be unrelated to the rear-wheel drive 2 Series Coupe.
