Despite sharing its moniker with the rear- or rear-biased all-wheel drive models, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a front-wheel drive (or front-biased AWD) car, built on the same platform as the latest 1 Series, X1, and others. With this off our chest, let’s move on to the reason behind this story, which is a new special edition variant of the brand’s Mercedes-Benz CLA fighter.
Named the BMW 220i M Sport Black Shadow Edition, it is limited to India (yes, really!), and sports M Performance parts and the high-gloss shadow line package.
Black accents decorate the grille, side mirror caps, rear spoiler, tailpipes, and 18-inch wheels, with a Y-spoke pattern. The whole car is otherwise finished in non-metallic Alpine White or metallic Black Sapphire, on top of the Sensatec Oyster or Black and Sensatec Black cabin.
Moving on inside, the special edition 2er has electrically adjustable sports seats with memory setting, panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting with six dimmable colors, 40/20/40 split rear backrests, and 430 liters (15.2 cu-ft) of trunk space behind the seats, in addition to other elements. Here, we’d mention the 10.25-inch infotainment system, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, gesture control, virtual assistant, smartphone integration, and parking assistant with reversing camera.
The safety features comprise the dynamic stability control, dynamic traction control, electronic differential lock control, cornering brake control, crash sensors, and others.
In terms of power, you are looking at a turbo’d 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pushes out 190 ps (187 hp / 140 kW) and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft) of torque between 1,350 and 4,600 rpm. The mill is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, enabling a 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in 7.1 seconds.
Pricing starts at INR 4,350,000, which equals to almost $58,500 at the current exchange rates. In the U.S., the 2022 2 Series Gran Coupe is offered in the 228i and M235i xDrive configurations, with MSRPs of $35,700 and $45,500 respectively.
