The range of compact models of the BMW 2 series will soon be replenished with another strictly a niche product that will be focused on competition with the Audi A3 Sedan and Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse Sedan / CLA.

It is expected that this modification will get the name of the M235i (or M240i) Gran Coupé and will be supplied by BMW B48 engine, which will boast torque of 400 Nm, which is transferred to all four wheels through the xDrive drivetrain.

The others, less sporty version, you will get a wide range of motors, from 3-cylinder 1.5-liter and 2.0-microfiction 4-cylinder. Contrary to expectations, the Gran Coupé will be available with either front-or all-wheel drive.
