Heavily inspired by the fourth-gen 1 Series Hatchback, the second generation of the 2 Series Gran Coupe has entered series production at BMW's Leipzig assembly plant in Germany. Over in the United States of America, which is one of the biggest markets for the front-biased 2er, the four-door sedan will hit dealer lots in March 2025.
