The all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé now available in Singapore.

Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the availability of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé, a car that offers the experience of sportiness and elegance to the premium compact segment. Produced at the BMW Group’s plant in Leipzig, the second model generation of the 4-door model now lends even greater emphasis to these hallmark BMW qualities. A clear increase in presence and dynamic performance in the design gives the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé a particularly extroverted appearance. An entirely renewed drive portfolio, extensively enhanced suspension technology, and innovative systems for automated driving and parking ensure unique driving pleasure.

"The all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is the latest addition to our growing list of CAT A COE offerings in Singapore. With even more options to choose from when browsing for their new car, customers have the freedom to decide what works best for their needs,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “For those who want something a bit more edgy, the BMW 216 Gran Coupé’s swooping silhouette and frameless side windows will capture attention. However, behind the wheel is where drivers get that true-blue BMW experience – this is the key ingredient that our fans cannot get enough of!”

The progressive character of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is also evident in its use of digitalisation. The user experience in the redesigned interior is defined by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and a wide range of digital services and in-car gaming based on BMW Operating System 9.

Sporty elegance in the hallmark style of the BMW brand.

The exterior design of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is defined by an expressive front section, a dynamically elongated silhouette, and a powerfully designed rear. This conveys even more clearly the sporty elegance that is so characteristic of a BMW Gran Coupé.

The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights featuring an innovative structure of vertical and diagonal bars inside and the large lower air inlet give the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé a low-slung, road-hugging appearance. The standard Adaptive LED headlights come with glare-free matrix high beam, cornering light function, and blue accentuations.

The side view is defined by the long bonnet, short overhangs, and a gently flowing roofline. A pronounced indentation in the transition to the rear emphasises the athletically shaped shoulder section. At the rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly embossed number 2 highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink. The rear derives its powerful, modern appearance from an especially ample surface structure broken up by just a few lines and flat lights with a striking notch, and invisibly integrated exhaust tailpipes. Further accentuations for refined dynamic performance are provided by the M Sport package.

The range of exterior finishes includes one solid and ten metallic finishes, of which four are BMW Individual finishes. A contrasting high-gloss black finish for the roof is also optional.

The all-new edition of the BMW 216 Gran Coupé has been increased in length by 20 millimetres to 4,546 millimetres, while the wheelbase measures 2,670 millimetres. The width of the vehicle is 1,800 millimetres, and the height has been increased by 25 millimetres to 1,445 millimetres.

Leather-free interior in a high-class premium ambience.

The newly designed interior of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is entirely leather-free as standard. The Veganza perforated in Coral Red/Black is available as standard, combined with hand-sewn contrasting seams for the instrument panel. The dynamically backlit interior trims made of milled aluminium likewise contribute to the car’s refined and athletic premium ambience. BMW Curved Display and the newly designed gear selector underline the progressive character of the interior.

Newly designed seats provide a high level of comfort on long journeys, with electrically operated Sport seats as standard. The standard sports steering wheel has also been redesigned. This is part of the M Sport package and features shift paddles for manual gear changes. An interaction airbag between the driver and front passenger now contributes to optimised occupant protection as standard. The rear seat backrest offers a 40: 20: 40 split as standard, while the storage volume is 430 litres.

M Sport Package with adaptive M suspension and sport steering.

A standard feature of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé offered as part of the M Sport package, the adaptive M suspension enhances both agility and long-distance comfort by means of variable, mechanically controlled, and frequency-selective shock absorbers. Pressure peaks within the shock absorbers are smoothed out by means of additional valves acting on the traction side. With the Adaptive M suspension, the vehicle is lowered by up to 8 millimetres and includes sports steering.

New generation engine, 7-speed Steptronic transmission as standard.

The all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé offers a particularly attractive introduction to the world of hallmark BMW driving pleasure. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine has 122 hp of power and a peak torque of 230 Nm. The standard seven-speed double-clutch Steptronic transmission directs engine power to the front wheels. Accelerating the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé from 0 to 100 km/h takes 9.9 seconds.

Improved body rigidity, further developed chassis.

The increased rigidity of the body structure and chassis connections helps the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé achieve improved agility, steering precision, and cornering dynamics. The further refinement of the chassis includes optimised kinematics and new shock absorber technology. The increased caster offset of the front wheels ensures stable straight-line driving and optimised steering feedback. Standard features also include directly controlled wheel slip limitation, an integrated braking system, and 18-inch M light alloy wheels.

Modern systems for partially automated driving and parking.

The standard and optional driver assistance systems available for the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé set standards among the competition in terms of functional range and reliability. Standard features include the Driving Assistant with front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning, exit warning and Speed Limit Info, as well as the Parking Assistant with Reversing Assistant.

Extensive standard equipment and high-quality options.

The significantly expanded range of standard equipment for the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé also includes BMW Live Cockpit Plus featuring the cloud-based navigation system BMW Maps. New optional equipment packages allow for targeted customisation. For example, the Equipment Package Professional includes the illuminated kidney Iconic Glow, BMW Live Cockpit Professional with BMW Head-Up Display and Augmented View on the Control Display, as well as Parking Assistant Plus with 360⁰ surround view.

BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Digital Premium.

The BMW iDrive based on BMW Operating System 9 is available in the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé for intuitive and convenient operation of vehicle functions. QuickSelect enables all the main vehicle functions to be accessed directly without having to switch to a submenu. This means that the cockpit of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is consistently designed for multimodal operation using touch functions, voice control and multifunction buttons on the steering wheel.

Meanwhile the BMW ConnectedDrive upgrades enable customers to add selected vehicle functions for a specific period of time. The new BMW Digital Premium is also available for the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. This offers country-specific entertainment services such as music and video streaming, news, and gaming.

Remote software upgrades allow free quality enhancements and additional functions to be downloaded to the vehicle “over the air”. Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is available as standard. With BMW ID and My BMW app, users can personalise their user experience, while with the optional BMW Digital Key Plus, compatible smartphones and smart watches can take on the function of the vehicle key.
