On top of this, BMW has announced, xDrive, its intelligent four-wheel drive system, will also be available for the BMW 220d Coupé. In the new BMW 220d xDrive Coupé the advanced system ensures not only optimised traction and vehicle stability in all road and weather conditions but also increased dynamics when taking bends at higher speeds and optimal acceleration.
The 2 Series Coupé is also now available in Luxury guise for an even more premium feel. Luxury specification is recognisable by the Chrome Line exterior trim and the outer air intake surrounds in the same detail. Also included are 18-inch light alloy wheels.
Inside, fineline stream high-grade wood interior trims including an Oxide Silver accent strip, leather-wrapped sports steering wheel and Dakota leather trim in a range of colours all feature. Luxury is available for £2,000 over the equivalent SE.
