The 2-series’ dynamic, rewarding, and 10Best-winning chassis (in M235i form) is wrapped in sheet metal that’s understated, elegant, and athletic, a taut missile waiting to be launched down your favorite back road. The classic short-deck, long-nose rear-wheel-drive proportions provide a great aesthetic foundation, and panache comes from details like the lower-flank sculpting and the sharp upper character line that runs rearward from the front wheel.
