Recent spy photos and renders have shown off a completely different looking X2 than the one we currently have and it\u2019s far better for it. Not only does it look better, though, it should also be a better car overall. Some new spy photos have surfaced, showing off more of its design, as well as its interior. (We don\u2019t own the spy photos but they can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/03\/2024-bmw-x2-spied-with-a-classy-high-tech-cabin\/\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The specific BMW X2 seen in these photos seems to be an M Performance model, judging by its grille, sporty wheels, and hilariously long exhausts. The latter of which are just there for testing and it will have normal looking tips come production time. That means we\u2019re likely looking at the BMW X2 M35i, which will be the follow up to the current X2 M35i and hopefully quite a bit better.<\/p>\n<p>As with previous spy photos, the BMW X2 looks completely different from the car it replaces in these new shots. If anything it looks more like a shrunken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/16\/bmw-x4-m-competition-drag-race-alfa-romeo-stelvio-quadrifoglio-maserati-levante-modena-s\/\">BMW X4<\/a>. This specific test mule is covered in more camouflage than most but we can see a couple of new interesting details on its body. For instance, the grille seems to have a honeycomb pattern, rather than vertical slats, which indicates its M Performance nature. It also has a funky tailgate spoiler, which stands quite proud.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_437722\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-437722\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-437722\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-830x587.jpg\" alt=\"2024 bmw x2 m35i 02 830x587\" width=\"830\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-830x587.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-1449x1024.jpg 1449w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2024 bmw x2 m35i 02 830x587\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-437722\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20587%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-830x587.jpg\" alt=\"2024 bmw x2 m35i 02 830x587\" width=\"830\" height=\"587\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-830x587.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-1449x1024.jpg 1449w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2024-bmw-x2-m35i-02.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2024 bmw x2 m35i 02 830x587\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-437722\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by www.instagram.com\/joelre98<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These photos also give us a look inside. Most of its cabin is pretty predictable, as it looks like the interior of an X1. However, there are two interesting details. First, it has unique looking seats, which are sportier looking than standard X1 seats, feature two-tone leather, and have interesting stitch patterns. The second interesting point is the paddle shifter design. It looks like the X2 M35i will have the same carbon fiber paddles as the new BMW M3 and M4. That\u2019s an interesting choice because it does tie the car closer to genuine M cars for customers but it\u2019s also not a genuine M car, so it sort of dilutes the brand a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, the BMW X2 M35i will have a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot making over 300 horsepower and it will likely continue to use the X1\u2019s seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The standard X1 is already fun to drive, so adding more power, more grip, and better handling should make it a blast. In the case of the X2 M35i, it will also massive improve on the looks of its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/03\/2024-bmw-x2-spied-with-a-classy-high-tech-cabin\/\">Car Scoops<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you can feel some hype building for the next-gen BMW X2, you\u2019re not alone.
