Lhe firm from Munich continues to expand its portfolio in our country. To the recent addition of the 430i Gran Coupé, now the 220i Coupé Advantage is added, the new entry version of the 2 Series, also coming from the Mexico plant. The objective of BMW Argentina is to continue offering a very complete range and continue with the traditional saga of sports compacts that characterizes the brand. In addition, it adds technological innovations for the entire range.
In this regard, Ivana Dip, CEO and Managing Director of BMW Group Argentina, stated: “In a year of important innovations for the BMW brand in Argentina, we continue to expand the offer of vehicles in the country with a product of great interest to the most loyal and sporty public of the brand. As with the launch of the new 4 Series Gran Coupé, the 220i Coupé demonstrates our commitment to Argentine customers in a segment that is deeply rooted in our country”.
These are its main features:
The new:
It is a new version of the 2 Series Coupé that is positioned as the entry-level option, ranking below the M240i Coupé xDrive and the M235i Gran Coupé. Aesthetically, it has a somewhat more sober and elegant appearance by putting aside the M kit and adding chrome details along with 18″ alloy wheels with a diamond finish. It does maintain the colorful LED headlights and the sunroof, among other items.
Inside, this variant has slightly less equipment, also resigning the exclusive items of the M division but also offering a very complete endowment of comfort, technology and security. Precisely, another novelty for the entire range is the incorporation of the new BMW Live Cockpit Professional, which replaces the two separate screens of the previous series with a huge curved double screen, with a 12.3″ display for the instruments and another 14.9″ for the multimedia system, thus modifying part of the front panel of the dashboard. It also adds Color Head-Up Display.
The most important difference with respect to the M240i lies of course in its mechanics, since the 220i Coupé is powered by a 184 hp 4-cylinder engine, with an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive instead of integral, with very good performance figures.
