You either know that the 2020 BMW X2 M35i exists, or you don’t – there’s no middle ground. However, once you see it, it becomes increasingly difficult not to fall in love with it. It has perfect dimensions, all-that-you-can-need performance, a spacious cabin, cutting-edge tech, and just the right price to win over the hearts of those looking for the ideal cheap yet performance-focused BMW. The 4-cylinder engine offers just the right amount of punch. Inside, it accommodates up to 4 occupants, treating them with impressive equipment. Visually, it continues to impress.
The 2020 BMW X2 M35i is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged motor, grunting roughly 306 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. It also pairs along a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic gearbox, channeling power to all four wheels. Acceleration-wise, the X2 completes a 0 to 60 mph run in a believe-it-or-not 4.9 seconds before it hits the limiter at 155 mph, which is super impressive for a car that looks so unassuming at first glance. BMW labels the X2 as their ‘Sports Activity Coupe,’ which means it’s only natural for the X2 to receive sport-tuned suspension and agility around the corners. The X2 becomes surprisingly nimble and playful for something that can haul your groceries.
Inside, the BMW X2 M35i is no less than a luxurious oasis. It’s not just decently equipped with tech and nicely dressed in soft-touch, well-built materials. So, a combination of leather and Alcantara upholstery resumes towards the dash, seats, and center console, giving off racecar-meets-luxury vibes. Speaking of the center stack, the X2 flaunts a 6.5-inch infotainment display (upgradable to 6.5 or 8.8-inch) that offers access to the sat-nav, AM/FM radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity. A premium Harmon Kardon sound system also helps accentuate the richness and clarity of your favorite tunes.
BMW labels the X2 their ‘Sports Activity Coupe,’ and rightfully so. The outside blends bold aesthetics with futuristic concepts that look ready to race or hit the runway – your choice. Meanwhile, subtle aggressive notes cascade across the exterior, adding to the overall sporty profile. Towards the front, it equips the iconic kidney grille (aka flared nostrils) with shiny chrome accents, accentuating its already menacing stance. Closely following the grille are sleek LED headlamps integrating eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs, which – together with angular intake vents – give the X2 a menacing, quite predatory stance. Laterally speaking, the X2 rides on striking 19-inch multi-spoke alloys that do a poor job of hiding the meaty M Sport brakes. Eventually, the hatchback-like roof sets at the back, revealing LED taillamps with T-shaped graphics and an aggressive (but cute) diffuser, further enhancing the car’s cheeky yet sporty vibe.
This X2 M35i is decently equipped in terms of tech with features like a Harmon Kardon premium sound system, multi-zone climate control, heated seats (and steering wheel), and an iDrive-powered infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Meanwhile, the presence of BMW Connected+ offers a smartphone app for next-level car-related personalization like sharing the current location with your close friends and family. Additionally, the X2 comes loaded with safety tech, including active cruise control (with stop and go), pedestrian warning, auto emergency braking, traffic jam assist, lane keeping/departure assist, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, and a load of parking cameras to ensure you don’t scrape your new whip.
Prices for the 2020 BMW X2 M35i begin from around $46,450 and stretch up to $50,000 upon factoring in the optional extras and packages like the $1,400 Premium Package that features sat-nav, heated seats (and steering wheel), and a heads-up display.
