BMW’s compact 2 Series has a split personality as it first appeared in 2014 as a two-door RWD coupe, followed not long after by the FWD, Mini-based five-seat Active Tourer and then the sleek Gran Coupe four-door; all still with us today. Arguably, the ultimate expression of the 2 Series is the 3.0-litre, inline six-cylinder, turbo-petrol powered M2 - a 338kW high-performance monster.
The line-up currently starts at $59,023 for the 2 Series 220i Sport Collection and ranges through to $101,500 for the range-topping 2 Series 2 M240I Xdrive.
