2024 BMW 2 Series

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says the 2 Series was given a full overhaul for 2022 and added a curved digital gauge cluster for 2023, so the sporty two-door carries over to 2024 unchanged, with an infotainment system running through a standard 8.8-inch touchscreen or an available 10.3-inch unit, and most of the extras standard on the M240i. MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) adds that BMW made its Live Cockpit Plus system standard in 2023 and did not expect significant changes for 2024.

KBB lists fuel economy from 22/32 to 26/35 mpg city and highway, and EPA rates the 2024 2 Series at 26 to 30 mpg combined and $2,600 to $3,000 a year in fuel.

NHTSA lists two recall campaigns for the 2024 2 Series. 23V770000 covers a steering gear that may not have been tightened properly and could loosen, for which dealers replace the steering gear, and 24V711000 covers bolts connecting the front body structure to the chassis that may not have been tightened properly, which dealers inspect and tighten as necessary. Owners have filed three complaints with NHTSA: two about the electrical system and one about the engine.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists the cheapest 2024 2 Series, the 228i Gran Coupe, at a Fair Purchase Price of $25,600, with trade-in values from about $21,100 to $40,100 and private-party values from about $24,300 to $44,200 depending on body style and trim, including the M240i.

EPA rates the 2024 2 Series at 26 to 30 mpg combined and $2,600 to $3,000 a year in fuel. The 2024 Audi A3 rates 30 to 32 at $1,950 to $2,100, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 23 to 30 at $2,600 to $3,350 and the Acura Integra 24 to 33 at $2,350 to $3,250. On EPA figures the 2 Series is less efficient than the A3 and about level with the CLA, and it is the only one of the four offered with rear-wheel drive.
