Compact black cars have always been a soft spot of ours since they denote both classiness and sportiness in a single package. The other standard colors available for the new 2 Series are:\u00a0Alpine White,\u00a0Black uni,\u00a0Melbourne Red metallic,\u00a0Mineral White metallic,\u00a0Portimao Blue metallic (for M Sport\/M240i models only),\u00a0Brooklyn Gray metallic (for M Sport\/M240i models only) and\u00a0Thundernight metallic (for M Sport\/M240i models only).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the new BMW 2 Series Coupe offers plenty of individualization choice to suit almost every taste. Of course, we expect new paintwork (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/03\/11\/video-discover-bmw-individual-manufaktur-with-timo-glock\/\">especially BMW Individual<\/a>) to become available in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-413247\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-664x830.jpg\" alt=\"2022 bmw m240i coupe sapphire black 05 664x830\" width=\"664\" height=\"830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-664x830.jpg 664w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" title=\"image of 2022 bmw m240i coupe sapphire black 05 664x830\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-413247\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20664%20830%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-664x830.jpg\" alt=\"2022 bmw m240i coupe sapphire black 05 664x830\" width=\"664\" height=\"830\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-664x830.jpg 664w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2022_bmw_m240i_coupe_sapphire_black_05.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" title=\"image of 2022 bmw m240i coupe sapphire black 05 664x830\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All new for 2022, the BMW 2 Series Coupe is only the second generation of 2 Series but actually the latest in a long line of small, two-door, four-seat, small-engine, everyday sports cars from BMW. The BMW 1600, back in the original\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/03\/30\/bmw-ceo-provides-clarification-on-neue-klasse-vehicles-entirely-electrified\/\">Neue Klasse<\/a>, was one of the cars that really got BMW started in this segment. The 1600 was followed by the iconic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/05\/18\/1974-bmw-2002-turbo-up-for-grabs-auction-hits-120000-in-no-time\/\">BMW 2002<\/a>, which created the template for the brand\u2019s success. Now, the second-gen BMW 2 Series is the newest iteration of such a car and potentially the last.<\/p>\n<p>BMW really differentiated the 2 Series from the rest of the lineup on the outside \u2014 its headlights, grille, Hofmeister kink, taillights, and overall design language is entirely different from everything else with a Roundel. However, the interior is similar to what we\u2019ve seen in other new BMWs. In fact, aside from a subtle triangle pattern in the door panels and a slightly different door pull design, the cabin of the 2 Series Coupe is nearly indistinguishable from that of a 3 Series or 4 Series.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the new 2 Series Coupe and its design, you can take a quick look at the videos below. Of course, more photos of this BMW M240i Coupe in Black Sapphire can be found in the photo gallery attached.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2022 BMW 2 Series Coupe - Designer Explains The Styling Choices\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wM0FCUBtcuM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BMW M240i Coupe M Performance Parts - EXCLUSIVE LOOK | 4K\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TDelVaw2PhQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2022 BMW 2 Series Coupe and M240i | All The Details in 4K\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QqC1KDKghFI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/allenbmwdurham\">@allenbmwdurham<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mtrel\">@mtrel<\/a> on Instagram, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9CUgAMHqokc\">Allen BMWDurham on Youtube<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North American dealerships are slowly starting to receive their allocations for the new 2022 BMW 2 Series Coupe.
