The 2 Series Coupe gets the more conventional grille rather than the massive one seen on its siblings M3 and M4. It also gets a redesigned front bumper with large air vents, new LED headlights with LED DRLs, and revised LED tail lights. The dark gloss black exterior trim all-around the car along with the metallic finishes on the side skirts and rear diffuser makes it look appealing. Part of the standard kit are 18-inch alloy wheels, however, the range-topping M240i stands on 19-inch alloys.
