The BMW 2 Series will be available in petrol and diesel in India. While the 2 Series is being introduced with its 220d variants, the petrol 220i will also be launched soon. The model will be assembled at the company's Chennai plant. The 220d is launched in two trims – the Sport-line (at Rs 39.3 lakh) and the fully loaded M Sport (at Rs. 41.4 lakh).
