Least seen BMW....

Post by Stark » Mon Aug 31, 2015 7:40 pm

.....just done 600 miles this weekend, and it just occurred to me that I've not seen a single 2 series on the roads yet. Not anywhere.

Is it just me?

One of the blokes at work has one.

They are a one series coupe, so you might have seen one and not realised.

Must admit I though you were going to say Jonny Essex's car, as that's never seen on the road. :lol:

There's been a couple around locally but I've seen quite a few around the City - so I wonder if they're becoming a popular choice as a company car with the lower echelons whose car allowance won't stretch to a 3/4 series ('cos a two-series must be better than a one-series :wink:)

And sounds very good too.

There's someone down the road from me who has picked one up and has the tendency to give it the beans. :thumbsup:

Chris Harris ran an M235i for a while fitted with some nice Performance goodies, he loved his.

I test drove an M235i convertible, I thought it drove really well, quick and sounded amazing with the top down. I just preferred the 4 series and wanted the comfort of 4 wheel drive

Oh and the look of the 2 series is an acquired taste
