Launched in 2015, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer F46 made history as the only seven-seater vehicle in BMW’s lineup outside of the full-size X7. With a wheelbase stretched by 11 cm and a roofline raised by 5 cm compared to the Active Tourer, it offered folding third-row seats and a cavernous 645 to 1,905-litre luggage capacity. Maintaining this high-capacity family hauler calls for thorough BMW 2 Series maintenance, addressing the mechanical demands of heavy passenger payloads.
Powertrains include the three-cylinder B38 turbo petrol (218i), four-cylinder B48 (220i), and four-cylinder B47 diesels (216d, 218d, 220d xDrive). Most models utilize a dependable six-speed or eight-speed Aisin automatic transmission. The upper hydraulic engine mount is subject to premature failure, resulting in cabin vibrations and clunks when selecting Drive or Reverse.
