BMW 2 Series Submodels
Launched for the 2014 model year, the 2 Series coupe and convertible replaced the 1 Series, marking a return to the small, driver-focused formula that made the BMW 2002 a legend. The lineup ranges from the efficient 4-cylinder 228i to the potent inline-6 M240i, but the halo car is the M2. With its aggressive styling, powerful turbocharged engine, and exceptional handling, the M2 quickly became an enthusiast favorite.
The M2 is especially collectible because it offers a pure, analog-feeling driving experience that's increasingly rare. It's viewed by many as the true spiritual successor to the E36 and E46 M3s. Limited models like the M2 CS are blue-chip collectibles with guaranteed future classic status due to their rarity and track-focused upgrades.
The market for the 2 Series is broad and active, with an average price of $44,889 across 470 recent sales. Early 228i and M235i models offer an affordable entry into modern BMW performance, while high-spec M2 Competition and CS models trade for significant premiums, often exceeding their original MSRP for low-mileage examples.
Buying Tips
- Check the charge pipe on N55-powered cars like the M235i and original M2. The factory plastic part is prone to cracking and is often proactively replaced with a more durable metal one.
- Insist on seeing complete service records. These engines require consistent oil services, and higher-mileage cars should have documentation for spark plug, ignition coil, and fuel injector replacements.
- On M2 models, inspect for signs of heavy track use, such as unusual tire wear, upgraded brake components, or a stripped interior. Check that the dual-clutch transmission shifts smoothly without any hesitation.
- Look for common oil leaks from the valve cover gasket and the oil filter housing gasket. These are frequent failure points on many modern BMW inline-6 engines.
- Test the iDrive infotainment system completely, as screens can delaminate and controllers can fail over time.
Prices range from around $10,000 for early models to as high as $162,500 for low-mileage M2 CS variants.
