The BMW 2 Series is a range of subcompact executive cars (C-segment) manufactured

by BMW since 2014. The 2 Series was created when BMW spun-off the 2-door models
(coupé and convertible) of the BMW 1 Series into a separate series.

The 2 Series was first launched as a 2-door coupé and convertible, both based on a rear-
wheel drive platform. A year later, the Active Tourer 5-seat compact MPV body style was
added, based on the unrelated front-wheel drive platform shared with the Mini Hatch
(F55/56/57). This was followed by a 7-seat version called the Gran Tourer.[1] In 2019,
the Gran Coupé fastback sedan joined the 2 Series family as a front-wheel drive vehicle
based on the 1 Series hatchback and has been marketed as a 4-door coupe. In 2021, BMW
released the second-generation 2-door coupé, rear-wheel drive 2 Series in July 2021.[2]

The BMW M2 is the high-performance version of the 2 Series 2-door coupé. The first
generation of the M2 is the F87 coupé and is powered by turbocharged straight-six engines.
