Launched in 2014, the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer F45 marked BMW’s first venture into the front-wheel-drive compact MPV segment. Built on the modular UKL platform, it prioritized an elevated driving position, flexible sliding rear seating, and family practicality. Sustaining an F45 in dependable mechanical order requires regular BMW 2 Series maintenance, particularly addressing front-wheel-drive suspension and engine mounting wear.
The engine range features the 1.5-litre three-cylinder B38, 2.0-litre four-cylinder B48, and frugal B47 diesels, as well as the 225xe plug-in hybrid with an electric rear axle. Gearbox options include a slick six-speed manual or smooth six- and eight-speed Aisin automatic transmissions. The upper hydraulic engine mount is a notorious failure point on three-cylinder models, leading to heavy engine thudding on startup and gear changes.
