Initial Release
The BMW 2 Series coupe was unveiled on the 25th of October, 2013 through the Internet. The 2-Series is generally sleeker and sportier than the outgoing 1-Series coupe it replaces. BMW's product manager Thomas Ebner said that "it is ready to countinue the success story of BMW Compact Coupes". Although it was the successor of the 1-Series coupe, it is continuing the BMW 02 coupes as a successor in that segment. The name, 2-Series, is based on that of the 02 Series of the 1960s. Currently at launch, there are the basic model 218d, 220d,220i, 225d and the range-topping BMW M235i internationally.
