2024 BMW 218i Gran Coupe (F44) - Revs, Interior, Exterior - Aggressive POV Drive

The 2022 BMW 218i Gran Coupe (F44) is the entry-level model in BMW's 2 Series Gran Coupe lineup. Powered by a 1.5L 3-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 103 kW (140 hp) and 220 Nm of torque, it offers a dynamic yet efficient driving experience. The model in focus is the 218i M Sport variant, featuring a more aggressive design with sportier front and rear bumpers, M-specific alloy wheels, and an enhanced suspension setup for improved handling.

Peak torque is available from as low as 1480 rpm, providing responsive acceleration ideal for city driving and highway cruising. Despite being a small engine, it delivers a surprisingly engaging performance that echoes the characteristics of a larger, naturally aspirated engine.

Released in 2020, the 218i Gran Coupe's interior is a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a modern cockpit with a fully digital instrument cluster and a high-resolution iDrive infotainment system. This tech-forward approach, combined with BMW's signature driving dynamics, sets a new standard for compact executive sedans, offering both comfort and advanced connectivity for everyday driving.

These entry level luxury car engines are getting good!

Even tho the 3-cylinder motor is missing a cylinder compared to the Mercedes A180, I feel like the power delivery of this beemer is more brutal

What would you choose? Or any alternatives?
