The high-performance F87 M2 model was produced in the coupe body style. It is powered by the BMW N55 and BMW S55 turbocharged inline-six engines.
The United States was the most popular market for the 2 Series, accounting for one-third of all sales, followed by Germany and Great Britain.[3]
The coupé model premiered at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, with sales beginning in March 2014.[4] The convertible model premiered later in October at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, and launched in February 2015.[5] The exterior design was led by Christopher Weil.[1]
The F22 2 Series has a 50:50 weight distribution and features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a five-link rear suspension.[6] Compared to the E82 1 Series coupé, the F22 2 Series is 72 mm (2.8 in) longer, 26 mm (1.0 in) wider, and 5 mm (0.2 in) lower.[7] The 2 Series also has 6 mm (0.2 in) more front headroom and 21 mm (0.8 in) more rear legroom, and has an additional 20 litres (0.71 cu ft) trunk space at 390 litres (14 cu ft).[8] The 2 Series has a reduced drag coefficient of 0.29 Cd for the 220i Coupé.[9]
Convertible models feature a 20% increase in rigidity compared to the E88 1 Series convertible and feature an electric convertible top that can be raised or lowered in 20 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph).[10]

In November 2015, BMW unveiled their high-performance version of the 2 Series, the M2, with sales beginning in 2016 and only being available as a 2-door coupe.[18][19] The Competition replaced the standard car in 2018[20][21] with the CS being revealed in November 2019 and sales beginning in March 2020, with 2,200 units planned.[22]
For 2015 BMW sold the M235i Track Edition as a limited production model in certain markets. In Canada, it was limited to 50 units. It came with the same N55B30 engine as the standard M235i, but was equipped with a limited-slip differential, M Performance suspension, and M Performance exhaust, while power seat motors and the sunroof were eliminated to save weight. Other changes included special wheels, carbon mirror caps, a trunk lip spoiler, and a full M Performance aerodynamics package.[23][24]
The following changes were available from summer 2016:
