The F22 coupe and F23 convertible 2 Series launched for the 2014 model year, replacing the previous 1 Series coupe. Enthusiasts immediately celebrated its return to compact, rear-wheel-drive proportions, viewing it as a spiritual successor to the iconic BMW 2002. The lineup included the efficient 4-cylinder 228i and the powerful 6-cylinder M235i, which was later updated to the even more potent M240i with the new B58 engine in 2017.
The car's collectibility is anchored by the high-performance M variants. The M235i and M240i offer a large portion of the M experience for less money, making them popular entry points. The true halo car is the M2, introduced in 2016 with a 365 hp N55 engine, flared bodywork, and a track-focused chassis. It was followed by the M2 Competition in 2019, which used a detuned 405 hp S55 engine from the M3/M4, solidifying its status as a modern classic.
The market for the F22/F23 generation is broad and active, with 134 sales tracked. The average sale price sits around $24,652, reflecting the volume of 228i, 230i, and M235i models trading hands. While early, higher-mileage examples are quite affordable, pristine M2 Competition models command prices up to $85,000, demonstrating a strong demand for the platform's ultimate iterations.
Buying Tips
- The plastic charge pipe on N55-powered M235i models is a common failure point; many owners upgrade to a more durable aluminum part.
- Check for oil leaks from the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket, which can affect both 4 and 6-cylinder engines.
- On 4-cylinder N20 engines (228i), listen for any rattling noises that could indicate timing chain guide issues, particularly on cars over 70,000 miles.
- For F23 convertibles, operate the soft top multiple times to ensure it functions smoothly and inspect the seals and headliner for any signs of water leaks.
- M2 and M2 Competition models are often driven hard, so scrutinize service records for regular oil changes and maintenance, and check for excessive tire and brake wear.
Prices for the F22/F23 2 Series span from around $8,000 for early models to $85,000 for top-spec M2 Competition variants.
