The new 2 Series's design is notably different from the model it replaces
Visually, the new 2 Series retains a similar coupe-like profile as the older model but is flush with several styling changes to bring it up to date. It gets new headlights that are identical to the units on the new 1 Series hatchback (on sale overseas) and a revised version of the kidney grille which is now illuminated. The front bumper has also been tweaked and now comes with a wider air intake. The rear end gets new taillamp units with new signatures, in addition to a more prominent diffuser.
