Even the standard SE spec in the new BMW 2 Series delivers high quality, enjoyment and visual appeal. 17 or 18 inch light alloy wheels with run-flat tyres are included as standard, depending on whether you choose a Coupe, Convertible, Active Tourer or Gran Tourer. All models come with automatic air conditioning and BMW Professional radio as part of the SE package. The on-board technology also includes the iDrive colour display screen, DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity.

In terms of interior design, the 2020 SE spec feels anything but “standard”. Distinctive silver dashboard trim, and a Sport multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel give the impression of luxury and comfort from the moment you sit in the car, at a lower cost than the more expensive Sport and M Sport trims. Added touches of elegance include heated windscreen washer jets and heated exterior mirrors, automatic rain sensors and rear Park Distance Controls.

Drivers will also appreciate the addition of the Drive Performance Control system, which allows you to specify the responsiveness and automation of your driving experience, by selecting one of three modes: ECO PRO, Comfort and Sport modes. Plus, the standard six-speed manual or optional eight-speed automatic transmissions both provide great efficiency and responsiveness, with variable steering control for different speeds.

Overall, the new BMW 2 Series SE spec is a significant improvement on its predecessor, and signifies the manufacturer’s desire to highlight the functionality, elegance and sportiness of the new 2 Series range.
