2023 BMW 2 Series Summary

You’d be forgiven for thinking there aren’t many sedans left on sale in Australia, thanks to the massive shift in buyer preference to SUVs.

But while mainstream carmakers like Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen and a lot more have scaled back their booted offerings, premium brands are yet to give up on sedans.

BMW alone has seven sedan models in its line-up ranging from small offerings like the 2 Series Gran Coupe all the way up to the 7 Series and 8 Series.

We are focusing on the former for this review, in entry level 218i guise. It’s a sleek sedan that certainly catches the eye, but can it compete with similarly priced SUVs in our crossover-loving country?

2022 BMW I4 Summary

There’s no denying that when most people think of an electric car, they picture a Tesla.

But brands like BMW aren’t just going to sit back and let Elon Musk corner the market.

Enter the new i4, which comes as one of three new EVs to join BMW’s stable in 2022 alongside the iX and iX3.

But what makes the i4 different from the other models is that it’s trying to replicate BMW’s much-loved sports sedan formula, with an all-electric powertrain.

So, does this stylish sedan do enough to tempt you away from a petrol or diesel engine?
