The signature BMW Iconic Glow Kidney grille now introduced on the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is always eye-catching, especially after dark. The headlights protrude a long way into the side sections. Segment best Adaptive LED headlights with glare-free matrix high beam feature blue accents and a cornering light function. The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights and a large, black lower air inlet give the front section of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a shark like appearance. This sporty look is further highlighted by vertical side openings. The sporty appearance of the front section is complemented by the elegant lines of the side view – The long bonnet, short overhangs, wide wheelbase and recessed passenger compartment create proportions in hallmark brand style, while the roofline flows smoothly into the rear, thereby enclosing the frameless doors. At the rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly embossed “2” highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink.
A particularly generous surface structure broken up by a small number of lines gives the rear of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a powerful, contemporary look. The wide rear stance, streamlined taillight design and the lower section of the rear apron finished in high-gloss black give the rear end a particularly sporty and light appearance. A fresh accentuation is also provided by the flat rear lights, whose contours feature a striking indentation in the lower section. Vertically aligned LED elements in the rear light and the turn indicators echo the design of the light sources inside the headlights. The tailpipes of the exhaust system are invisibly integrated in the rear apron to give the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a sleek appearance.
The standard M Sport package conveys the dynamic charisma of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé vigorously. Its exterior features include a front apron with particularly large air intakes, M specific side sills, the M High-gloss Shadow Line and a powerfully modelled rear apron with a black diffuser insert.

The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé benefits from extensively redesigned suspension technology, lending even greater intensity to the driving pleasure. Agility, steering precision and cornering dynamics are enhanced by the increased rigidity of the body structure and chassis.
