2016 BMW 2 Series M235i xDrive

The 2 Series is BMW's compact coupe and convertible, the smallest rear-drive car in the lineup for 2016. It's the kind of car that makes you take the long way home, with sharp steering and a balanced chassis. The cabin is snug but well laid out, with supportive seats and a clean dashboard that puts the driver first. The coupe's trunk is modest, and the convertible's is smaller still, so pack light for weekend trips. Stepping up to the M235i xDrive adds the 3.0L I6 with 320 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, plus BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive for all-weather grip. The 3.0L I6 pairs with the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, giving you strong acceleration and confident traction in rain or snow, at 23 mpg combined. The M235i xDrive has a sport-tuned suspension and variable-ratio steering, so the ride is taut and the handling feels immediate.
