A new production machine, equipped with laser-beam welding technology, has been installed at the Leipzig plant to assemble the tailgate of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.

The interior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been fully redesigned to be leather-free, featuring a curved display, similar to other BMW models produced in Leipzig.

The range is topped by the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupe, boasting a 221kW/300 hp four-cylinder engine.

Customers can choose from two unicolour, seven metallic, and four BMW Individual finishes, with an extensive selection of BMW Individual special paints also available for the compact four-door BMW 2 Series.
