With reduced weight on the nose compared to BMW’s six-cylinder versions, indeed a lower weight overall, the 230i is fun to fling around.
The BMW 230i coupe is a new mid-tier 2-Series coupe, slotting between the 220i and all-wheel drive M240i xDrive. The 230i is arguably the modern incarnation of the 2002: the small-ish, simple, rear-drive, delightfully balanced, relatively frugal coupe that carved out a niche and a legend for BMW in the late 1960s and early ’70s.What does it cost?
From $70,900 plus on-road costs. That’s $7K dearer than the base model and $21K cheaper than the top. That said, aA turbocharged “four” borrowed from the larger 330i sedan. Displacing 2 litres, this puts out a handy 190 kW and 400 Nm, and is coupled with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The 230i takes 5.8 seconds to reach 100km/h.For the packaging. The 230i is about the overall size of the older 3-Series, which is now about the size of the older … you get the picture. For the restraint.
