Springfield 228i Research on the 2015 BMW Model
Following its debut last year, the BMW 2 Series earned critical acclaim. The sport compact, and 1 Series replacement, continues to rake in positive reviews again in its second year from the likes of Edmunds.com, Kelley Blue Book and even Popular Mechanics magazine, who called it "beautifully balanced" and "ready to rock" in their 2015 BMW 2 Series review.
Available in coupe and recently debuted convertible body styles, the road rebel takes on the pavement with two engines. The entry is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 240 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels, though all-wheel drive is now available for 2015. The next engine up is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder with 320 horsepower, which got the car from zero to 60 mph in only 4.5 seconds when tested out for Edmunds.com's 2015 BMW 2 Series review. Torque output is ample with both engines and a broad torque curve ensures excellent acceleration.
