Leaked photos of BMW 2-Series Coupe appear online

bmw-2-series-leak-01

Just a few days shy of its official debut on October 25, leaked photos of the BMW 2-Series Coupe have made their way onto the Internet. The car here is the M235i Coupe in red, which looks similiar to the car teased in the video earlier this week. The event looks like a dealer preview.

The M235i will use a version of BMW’s N55 single turbo 3.0 litre inline-six doing 322 hp and 450 Nm of torque. The car will be the 2-Series Coupe range topper for the moment, while we wait to see if the 1 M Coupe gets a successor in the form of an M2 Coupe.

Other than the obvious addition of a proper boot, the car is further differentiated from the 1-Series hatchback with a completely new front end which gets rid of the One’s droopy face.

We also notice that the M235i badging on the rear uses a completely different font compared to what BMW normally uses – this different font was also applied to the M135i, M550d, and other M Performance cars.

      • Warranty ONLY 2 Years on Oct 23, 2013 at 9:12 am

        Though this is a beautiful car, BMW has still not addressed people’s main concern – the warranty. In Malaysia, they are ONLY giving a mere 2 years warranty whilst nearly ALL other car brands are now giving 5 years. Even BMW’s direct competitor, Mercedes, is giving 4 years warranty.

        Malaysia mask it by making it seem its 3 years but that is actually the free service. 3 years or 60,000KM. So people are misled thinking its 3 years. But the real warranty is only a mere 2 years.

        Even Proton and Perodua are so sure of their products and their quality that they are giving 5 years. BMW Malaysia is the ONLY car company not just in Malaysia but in the world that is giving a mere 2 years warranty. It shows they have no confidence in their own products.

        No point launching so many models when your existing model line up, they don’t give peace of mind to the customer. Oh btw, one can finish 60,000 KM in less than 2 years easily so, even the free service last 2 years.

        Be warned that after 2 years, your gearbox will probably fail. Many BMW owners have to spend RM80k just to replace their gearbox.

          RM80k for a gearbox??? Where did you hear this?? A friend of mine just changed his gearbox which failed after 7 years, and it costs him around RM12k.

      Agree too. Front loses the >< face of the 1 series, which is good. but the back? It looks like they used back a similar design as the F10 rear lights, but instead of 3 light bars in the F10, they are using 2 slim light bars…. boomerang lights!

        With such performance, I think the butt should be a lot nicer, because more people will be looking at the butt as you zoom pass haha.

    If they make a 4 door version of this, people will buy this instead of the 3 series.

    Expected entry model – the 225i with ~RM300k pricetag?

  • clement on Oct 23, 2013 at 12:24 pm

    All this while their marketing team has been justified their price higher from 1 series to the others. so it should be some where in between the current 125i(Rm240k) and 328i(300K), though not much left within the gap.
