BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe M Sport – Interior
On the inside, the dashboard layout is pretty familiar with most modern BMWs and in fact, most of it has been carried over from the 3-series sedan. The ergonomics are spot on and BMW’s i-drive system controlled by a swivel wheel on the center console remains one of the best in the business. The center console also gets the typical BMW gear lever but other elements inside the cabin are quite familiar. This might be an entry-level BMW but the quality of materials and fit and finish are still very high.
The feature-list includes 12.3-inch Digital Touchscreen Infotainment System with Apple CarPlay, a 10.25-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, 3D Navigation, Ambient Lighting, Head-Up Display, Powered Front Seats, Panoramic Sunroof, Lane Departure Warning, Active Cruise Control, Six Airbags, Parking Assistant and Rear View Camera. It has all the features that one might expect from a BMW.
