📖BMW 2 Series Coupé F22 (2014-2017): a purist rear-wheel-drive sports coupé demanding diligent preventative maintenance

BMW 2 Series Coupé F22 (2014-2021)

Launched in early 2014 to replace the celebrated 1 Series Coupé, the BMW 2 Series Coupé F22 quickly won acclaim as one of the finest driver’s cars of its generation. With its classic long-bonnet, short-tail proportions, 50:50 weight distribution, and rear-wheel-drive dynamics, it offered a purist driving experience. Ensuring an F22 remains sharp and dependable requires structured BMW 2 Series maintenance, particularly concerning engine cooling and drivetrain care.

The model range began with N20 four-cylinder and N55 six-cylinder engines (M235i), before transitioning in 2016 to the more robust B48 and B58 units (M240i). On N20 models built prior to 2015, the timing chain guides require inspection for brittleness, whereas B58 engines are exceptionally durable but require monitoring of the coolant expansion tanks. The eight-speed ZF automatic transmission delivers rapid, crisp shifts and high durability.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Exceptional rear-wheel-drive handling balance, steering precision, and athletic road manners.
  • Phenomenal performance, refinement, and tuning capability from the B58 3.0-litre straight-six in the M240i.
  • Proven longevity and rapid shift times from the eight-speed ZF torque-converter transmission.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Early N20 timing chain guides (2014-early 2015): listen for high-pitched whining from the oil pump drive chain.
  • Coolant expansion tanks on B48/B58: inspect main and auxiliary coolant cap seals for crusty residue and leaks.
  • ZF 8HP automatic transmission: service fluid and pan filter every 80,000 km to prevent solenoid sticking.
  • Oil filter housing gasket: check for oil weeping down the front and side of the cylinder block.
