What the Critics Say
“The 2-series handles itself with aplomb, thanks in part to its quick, accurate steering responses and its solid, capable chassis. The ride over uneven pavement is generally good, and passengers are isolated from most bumps by the firmly controlled suspension.” — Car and Driver
“Yes, the BMW 2 Series is an excellent car. Its main directive is performance, which is clear from its menu of five potent engines and deft handling attributes. A comfortable ride and good fuel economy don’t hurt its overall appeal, either.” — U.S. News & World Report
