| Home / BMW / List of BMW Serie 2 Models without Timing Belt
The BMW 2 Series is a high-end compact car (C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the German marque BMW. The 2 Series is the successor to the coupe and convertible versions of the BMW 1 Series. This “spin off” inaugurated the new line in 2014. A year later, the BMW 2 Series Active and Gran Tourer would arrive; a minivan that shares its name with this sports car within the German brand. However, both models share the UKL2 platform.
During the first generation, the BMW 2 Series was sold with Coupe (F22), Convertible (F23) and M2 Competition (F87) bodies. Subsequently, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé would arrive in 2019 (F44). This latter coupé is considered as an independent model within the BMW brand.
The second generation arrived to the market in 2021 under the code G42. This new model is based on the BMW CLAR platform, i.e., sharing base and components with the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series. Its engines include mild hybrid gasoline and diesel models, with the M240i xDrive being the highest-performance model of this new version. Commercially, BMW refers to this model as “The 2“.
The BMW 2 Series has multiple rivals within the high range. Depending on its body (either coupe, convertible or fastback), we can consider the Audi A3 Sedan and the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class as its most direct competitors.
BMW 2 Series. Timing Belt or Timing Chain?
Down below you will see a list with all BMW 2 Series models that have been produced. They are classified by model identifier, year and type of bodywork. Above each list, we show you a series of pictures so that you can have a visual reference for each model. In some cases, both the original and its updated design are displayed to help you identify them with ease.
In this guide you will find all BMW 2 Series models.
If you are looking for other BMW 2 Series models, you can find them below:
■ Timing Belt / Cam Belt (Correa / Faja de Distribución)
■ Timing Chain (Cadena de Distribución / Cadena de Tiempo)
■ Gear Driven (Distribución por Engranajes)
