The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
8.2 Read Our Full Review	8.2 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2016 2-Series may be an entry-level model in BMW's lineup, but it builds on a rich lineage, as a well-rounded luxury sports coupe with all the looks, handling and features that you might expect.	The 2017 BMW M2 works hard to keep things simple, and to keep its price under control—and to bring back some of the driver’s seat sensations that have gone missing in other recent M cars.
TCC Likes
Sporty yet graceful exterior Modern, restrained interior All-wheel-drive option	Track-ready handling Power to spare Absorbs hard impacts well
TCC Dislikes
Tight back seat Encroaches on 4-Series prices (M235i especially) No convertible offering to date	Somewhat austere interior Interior noise is a constant companion Ride can get jittery
