BMW will completing its ‘numbering’ lineup from 1-Series to the 8-Series with the launch of an all new model, the 2-Series in 2014. With the recent launch of the 4-Series, BMW product planners want a full deck on board.
The BMW 2 Series Coupe (F22) will be a grown up version of the current 1 Series Coupe (E82). The 3.1 inch gain in overall length and 1.2 inch longer wheelbase will come mostly in the front, by elongating the front end and giving the F22 a sleeker look overall. Adding to this effect is the less bulbous greenhouse which features a more raked window and a rear roofline that has been elongated and joins the boot in a more subtle angle than on the E82. Production on the BMW 2 Series will start next month and it will have its public auto show debut at the Detroit auto show in mid-January 2014.
