BMW 2 Series Leasing

Which BMW 2 Series Should I Lease?

The right BMW 2 Series depends primarily on how you intend to use the car.

Choose the 2 Series Coupé if driving enjoyment and a two-door design are your priorities. The Coupé has a lower, more focused design and is available with petrol engines including the 220i, 230i and M240i xDrive.

Choose the 2 Series Gran Coupé if you want a four-door BMW with a more practical cabin than the Coupé. Current leasing vehicles include the 220, 223 xDrive and M235 xDrive.

Choose the 2 Series Active Tourer if passenger and luggage space are more important. The Active Tourer has five doors and a more practical interior, with current Car Leasing options including mild-hybrid petrol models and the 225e xDrive plug-in hybrid.

This distinction is important because the BMW 2 Series is not one single type of car. The three current versions serve different requirements while sharing the same 2 Series name.

BMW 2 Series Coupé Leasing

The BMW 2 Series Coupé is the two-door version of the range and is the most driver-focused option.

Current Car Leasing listings include:

• 220i M Sport

• 220i M Sport Pro

• 230i M Sport

• M240i xDrive

• Selected Tech+ and Pro Pack configurations

The 220i and 230i use petrol engines, while the M240i xDrive provides the highest-performance option currently represented in the Coupé listings.

BMW's current M240i xDrive Coupé produces 392 hp, 540 Nm and accelerates from 0–62 mph in 4.3 seconds. It uses an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive.

The 2 Series Coupé has a 390-litre luggage compartment, making it more suited to drivers who prioritise the driving experience over maximum passenger and luggage capacity.

For dedicated Coupé leasing information, use the BMW 2 Series Coupé leasing page.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé Leasing

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé provides a four-door alternative to the two-door Coupé.

Current Car Leasing listings include:

• 220 M Sport

• 220 M Sport Pro

• 223 xDrive M Sport

• 223 xDrive M Sport Pro

• M235 xDrive

• Selected Tech+ and Pro Pack configurations

The 220 is a petrol model with a 1.5-litre engine, while the 223 xDrive and M235 xDrive use higher-output powertrains and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive.

The current BMW 220 M Sport Gran Coupé produces 170 hp and accelerates from 0–62 mph in 7.9 seconds.

The Gran Coupé is the better choice if you want the four-door practicality of a saloon-style car while retaining the compact dimensions of the 2 Series range.

For dedicated Gran Coupé leasing information, use the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé leasing page.

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer Leasing

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the practical five-door version of the range.

Current Car Leasing listings include:

• 220i MHT Sport

• 220i MHT Luxury

• 220i MHT M Sport

• 223i MHT Sport

• 223i MHT Luxury

• 223i MHT M Sport

• 225e xDrive Sport

• Selected Tech Plus Pack and other option-pack configurations

The 220i and 223i use petrol mild-hybrid technology, while the 225e xDrive is a plug-in hybrid.

BMW's current 220i Active Tourer uses a 48-volt mild-hybrid petrol powertrain and produces 170 hp. BMW quotes a 415-litre to 1,405-litre luggage capacity depending on rear-seat configuration.

The 225e xDrive combines a petrol engine with electric drive and provides all-wheel drive. BMW quotes an electric-only WLTP range of up to 53 miles for the current 225e xDrive Active Tourer.

The Active Tourer is therefore the strongest choice in the 2 Series range if you regularly carry passengers, luggage or need a more versatile interior.

For dedicated Active Tourer leasing information, use the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer leasing page.

BMW 2 Series Petrol, Mild Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Options

The current BMW 2 Series leasing range includes different powertrain technologies depending on the body style.

Petrol

The 2 Series Coupé and Gran Coupé listings are centred on petrol powertrains.

Current examples include the 220i, 230i and M240i xDrive Coupé, alongside 220, 223 xDrive and M235 xDrive Gran Coupé models.

Mild Hybrid

The Active Tourer is available with petrol mild-hybrid powertrains, including current 220i MHT and 223i MHT listings.

Mild-hybrid technology assists the petrol engine using a small electrical system. It is not a plug-in hybrid and does not provide the same electric-only driving capability as the 225e xDrive.

Plug-in Hybrid

The BMW 225e xDrive Active Tourer combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery.

BMW quotes an electric-only WLTP range of up to 53 miles for the current 225e xDrive Active Tourer.

The exact specification and electric range of an individual lease vehicle should be confirmed against the vehicle listing.

BMW 2 Series Performance and Specifications

The BMW 2 Series offers a broad spread of performance depending on body style and engine.

Exact specifications can vary according to model year, equipment and individual vehicle. The live Car Leasing listing should always be used to confirm the specification of the vehicle being leased.

BMW 2 Series Practicality

Practicality varies considerably across the BMW 2 Series range.

The 2 Series Coupé has a 390-litre boot and is best suited to drivers who prioritise its two-door design and driving characteristics.

The 2 Series Gran Coupé adds two rear doors and a more accessible rear passenger area, making it a more practical choice for regular passenger use.

The 2 Series Active Tourer is the most practical version of the range. BMW quotes luggage capacity of 415–1,405 litres for the 220i Active Tourer, depending on rear-seat configuration.

If luggage and passenger space are important, the Active Tourer should be considered before the Coupé.

BMW 2 Series Technology and Equipment

Equipment varies between BMW 2 Series models, specifications and individual option packs.

Current Car Leasing listings include equipment packages such as:

• Tech+ Pack

• Tech Plus Pack

• Pro Pack

• Tech+/Pro Pack

Individual vehicles can also differ in specification depending on the selected trim and optional equipment.

Check the individual live vehicle listing for the exact equipment included rather than assuming that a feature is standard across the entire BMW 2 Series range.

BMW 2 Series Trim Levels

Current leasing vehicles include specifications such as Sport, M Sport, M Sport Pro and Luxury, depending on the body style.

M Sport and M Sport Pro vehicles generally provide a more performance-oriented specification, while Luxury versions of the Active Tourer place greater emphasis on equipment and comfort.

Trim availability differs between the Coupé, Gran Coupé and Active Tourer, so the available specification should be checked against the individual vehicle.

Is the BMW 2 Series Available as a Convertible?

The BMW 2 Series Convertible is not part of the current BMW 2 Series range represented by the Car Leasing listings.

The existing page previously referred to the Convertible as part of the 2 Series range, but this is legacy information and should be removed from the main editorial copy.

If a BMW 2 Series Convertible lease is a search requirement, customers should not be directed to assume that a Convertible is included in the current 2 Series leasing inventory.

Is the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer Still Available?

The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is not part of the current BMW 2 Series range represented by Car Leasing.

The current practical 2 Series option is the five-seat Active Tourer.

This distinction is important because older BMW 2 Series leasing pages and competitor content can still reference the discontinued Gran Tourer.

Why Lease a BMW 2 Series?

The BMW 2 Series provides several different ways to lease a compact BMW.

The Coupé prioritises a two-door driving experience, the Gran Coupé provides four-door practicality, and the Active Tourer offers the most flexible passenger and luggage space.

The range also provides a choice of petrol, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, depending on the body style.

Leasing allows you to choose the contract length, initial rental and annual mileage available for the individual vehicle rather than purchasing the vehicle outright.

Personal BMW 2 Series Leasing

BMW 2 Series leasing is available for personal customers, subject to eligibility and the terms of the individual lease agreement.

Choose the BMW 2 Series body style and vehicle that suits your requirements, then select the available contract length, initial rental and annual mileage before reviewing the agreement details.

Business BMW 2 Series Leasing

BMW 2 Series business leasing is available on eligible vehicles.

Business rental information is displayed against eligible Car Leasing vehicles, with business rentals shown excluding VAT where applicable.

The applicable rental depends on the vehicle, specification, contract length, initial rental and annual mileage.

What's Included With a BMW 2 Series Lease?

The exact inclusions depend on the individual vehicle and lease agreement.

Typical lease inclusions may include:

• Road tax

• Free nationwide delivery

• Manufacturer warranty, subject to its terms

• An agreed annual mileage

• An agreed contract period

Maintenance is not automatically included and may be available as an optional addition on eligible agreements.

Always check the individual lease agreement for the exact inclusions and additional products available.

BMW 2 Series Lease Terms and Mileage

The current Car Leasing BMW 2 Series selector allows customers to choose from:

• 18, 24, 36, 48 or 60-month contracts

• 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months' initial rental

• 5,000 to 30,000 annual mileage options

The exact combinations available depend on the individual BMW 2 Series vehicle.

Your annual mileage should reflect your expected use because exceeding the agreed mileage can result in additional charges at the end of the lease.

How Does BMW 2 Series Leasing Work?

Choose the BMW 2 Series body style and vehicle you want from the available listings.

Then select the available contract length, initial rental and annual mileage.

The lease agreement will set out the initial rental, agreed monthly rental payments, contract period and agreed mileage.

Once the application and required checks have been completed, the vehicle is supplied according to the agreed lease terms.

What Happens at the End of a BMW 2 Series Lease?

At the end of the lease agreement, the BMW 2 Series is normally returned in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The vehicle should meet the applicable fair wear and tear standards.

Additional charges may apply for excess mileage or damage outside acceptable wear and tear, depending on the agreement.
