The X2 was first previewed as the BMW Concept X2 at the 2016 Paris Motor Show,[6] with a production version unveiled on 25 October 2017,[7] with sales commenced in March 2018.[8][9]

The X2 F39 is based on the same front-wheel drive UKL2 architecture as the X1 and MINI Countryman,[10] and features the same 2,670 mm (105.1 in) wheelbase length. The X2 is assembled in Regensburg, Germany and is produced alongside the X1.[11] Being a part of BMW X family, the vehicle is also available with xDrive all-wheel drive on higher end models.[12]

Both the sDrive28i and xDrive28i models are available in North American markets.[13]

A plug-in hybrid variant, called the xDrive 25e, was unveiled in January 2020.[14] In September 2020 BMW presented the special variant M Mesh Edition with a sporty look.[15]

Production concluded on 11 October 2022, about 13 months prior to the launch of the next generation.[3]

Equipment

The X2 is offered in a standard, M Sport, and M Sport X trim.[16] The standard trim features cloth seats, a 6.5-inch iDrive 6.0 screen, and 17-inch wheels, while M Sport and M Sport X models have 19-inch wheels and include dynamic damper control and a 10 mm (0.4 in) lower sports suspension.[17]

Available upgrades include Dakota leather, an upgraded 8.8-inch or 10.25-inch iDrive system with touch controls, wireless charging, a heads up display, and a Driving Assistant package that includes cruise control, lane departure warning, and speed limit information.[18]

sDrive18i and 18d models are available with a 6-speed manual transmission, while sDrive18i models can be upgraded to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.[19] The rest of the model range uses an 8-speed automatic transmission.[20]

16-28 models with the M Sport trim and M35 models can be fitted with M Performance Parts. These include black lower bumpers, carbon fibre mirrors, a sport steering wheel and black side skirts.

Ahead of the official reveal, the high-performance M35i was teased on social media,[27] showing off details such as its illuminated grille, large wheels and four round tailpipes.[28] It was fully revealed on 11 October 2023, with the introduction of the first ever battery-electric iX2 model. Both models went on sale in early 2024.[29] The BMW X2 and iX2 was presented to the public at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo on 26 October 2023. Deliveries to US showrooms started in March 2024.[30]

Compared to its predecessor, it has a sloping roofline similar to the X6. The exterior has BMW kidney grilles in a hexagonal shape which has the option of BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting, LED rear lights with dual arrow light patterns which also mirrors the LED daytime running lights of the headlights, and first compact BMW to be available with 21" alloy wheels.[31]

The interior has BMW Curved Display which houses the 10.25" digital instrument cluster and 10.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system (operated by BMW’s Operating System 9) with QuickSelect functions, a gear selector switch for the automatic transmission, and the omission of the iDrive control wheel (like in other entry-level BMW models).[31][32]

The X2 M35i xDrive models features a 15mm lowered suspension, an Adaptive M suspension with sports steering, an M Compound braking system, M-specific design elements for the exterior and interior, and a quad exhaust system.[33]
