BMW 2-Series M2 (2016 - 2017) practicality
The M2 is based on the BMW 2 Series Coupe, which in turn is a derivation of the 1 Series Hatchback, and that scored a maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP crash-testing programme back in 2012.
Standard safety features on board include:
• Airbags: front on both sides, curtain front and rear, seat-integrated side front
• Adaptive cruise control
• Brake pad wear indicator
• Electronic stability control
• Hill-start assist to prevent rolling back while pulling away on an incline
• Rear parking sensors
• Automatic headlights and wipers
• Halogen headlights
• Two ISOFIX child seat lashing points for the outer rear seats
• Tyre-pressure monitoring system
You’ve got a number of optional safety features to choose from too. The Visibility Package includes headlight washers along with adaptive xenon headlamps including an automatic high-beam function. You can specify a reversing camera, and keyless entry and ignition is available under the name Comfort Access.
The Driving Assistant package would be useful if you’re doing a lot of motorway miles, comprising a lane-departure warning system as well as a forward-collision warning, low-speed automatic braking and a fatigue-detection system.
The BMW M2’s practicality is almost exactly the same as the 2 Series it’s based on, so you’re in for a 390-litre boot, 60:40-split rear seats that are relatively cramped with poor headroom thanks to the sloping roofline, loads of space in the front of the car and the option of a rear armrest that contains two cupholders but folds away allowing longer items to be through-loaded into the cabin from the boot. That latter system also converts the rear seats to a 40:20:40-split.
In the front you get a pair of cupholders, decent-sized bins in the doors to hold bottles and a centre console storage area with USB connection.
