Market demand was low, and the price of imported BMWs was not competitive. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Powertrain: The new car will have a rear-wheel-drive 230i version, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering a maximum power of 254 horsepower. The all-wheel-drive M240i will feature a 3.0T turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 387 horsepower and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The transmission system will include an 8-speed automatic transmission, with both all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive options available in the future. 2. Exterior design: The spy shots of the new car's headlight design match the actual vehicle, incorporating spoon-shaped LED daytime running lights. Notably, BMW's signature large kidney grille is absent on the new 2 Series. The front bumper features a sharp design, with triangular-shaped air intakes on both sides, contributing to a sporty overall appearance.
