Bmw 2 series The new 2 series is the coupe version of the 1 series coming out soon in Europe and Japan. BMW is apparently switching their naming conventions around, and have even numbered series models being the coupe versions (2 series, the new 4 series coming out soon, and the 6 series), while the odd number models have 4 doors. Finally some rhyme to their reason. |
| So anyway, Automobile Magazine reports that BMW is targeting the "upper portion of the lower midrange market segment" (or something to that effect) of vehicles. I'm not sure what it means, but the 2 series is reported to start around $23k for the baseline 4 cylinder, move up to $26k for an inline 6 (or turbocharged 4), and then top out around $32k for the new M2. The M2 model is rumored to have a 300 horsepower inline-6 cylinder engine, which fits in nicely with the new 400 hp engine for the new M5 and the 500 hp engine for the M6.  |
