When I could finally take an uninterrupted inspection of the new car on an empty field overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, before we tracked a path to the fishing village of Paternoster, my impression of the styling went through several phases on its way to a confirmed opinion. As you would expect of a compact two-door coupé, taller passengers will need to contort slightly to enter the cabin. It’s 105mm longer now at 4,537mm, and 64mm wider with a roof line 28mm lower than its predecessor.
BMW Operating System 7 is also standard, as is a multifunction steering wheel, voice control, a digital key, Connected Music, and BMW Live Cockpit Professional, which features a fully digital 12.3-inch screen and a 10.25-inch control display. Driving assistance systems include lane change warning, rear collision prevention and rear crossing traffic warning, active cruise control, speed limit assist, park distance control, reversing assistant, with camera for surround view and remote 3D View, BMW head-up display and BMW drive recorder.All engines are paired with eight-speed automatic transmissions with launch control, with the four-cylinder models using BMW’s trusted rear-wheel drive.
