BMW 218i Sport Line Edition $58,900*
BMW 218i M Sport $62,000*
BMW M235i XDrive $91,400*
Similar to its four-door stablemates, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé exhibits an audacious and contemporary design, with bold expressive lines that highlight the athletic coupé silhouette.
This is complemented by a contoured kidney grille, all new design for the rear lights and a high-gloss black band that accentuates the rear width of the car.
Furthermore, the BMW M235i xDrive will sport exclusive highlights in Cerium Grey with a distinctive three-dimensional mesh kidney grille adorning the front.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé’s elongated profile measures 4,526 mm in length, 1,800mm in width and only 1,420mm in height, which enhances everyday practicality while reinforcing its sleek profile.
For rear passengers, the extra leg room provides seating comfort for long journeys and easier ingress. The impressive 430 litres of boot capacity can be further expanded thanks to the 40/20/40 split rear seat.
The remarkable handling and agility of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is the result of careful integration of BMW’s latest front-wheel-drive architecture with sophisticated chassis engineering and innovative technologies.
This is further pronounced in the M235i xDrive with the availability of BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system as standard.

Warranty and Condition Based Servicing
As with all New Zealand-new BMW vehicles a five year warranty, three year service inclusive programme and five year roadside assist coverage is fully included.
All maintenance requirements for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé are controlled by the Condition Based Servicing (CBS) system.
With CBS, sensors and advanced algorithms monitor and calculate the conditions in which a vehicle is used, including mileage, time elapsed since its last service, fuel consumption and how a vehicle is driven. Based on the information captured, maintenance requirements are determined, identifying whether an annual vehicle inspection or oil service is due.
Selected BMW service and maintenance costs can be covered by a single, one-off advance payment with BMW Service Inclusive (BSI), which is available in two packages: Basic or Plus.
