We've already seen the upcoming BMW 2 Series (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+2+series/) testing in both coupe (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/19/bmw-2-series-spied-on-the-road/) and convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/13/bmw-2-series-convertible-goes-for-a-drive-in-the-cold/) body styles, and now we're getting our first glimpse inside the new entry-level coupe. Judging by the sportier exterior that we've seen in previous spy shots, this car appears to be equipped with an M-Sport package, so this is likely not what the base interior will look like.
Compared to the current 1 Series (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/1+series/), this new coupe will have cleaner cabin design including fewer buttons on the center stack and an instrument panel with more of a dual-brow design. This car has cloth seats with what appears to be a suede-like accent trim and blue stitching, and the seat's pattern is mimicked on the door panel. The 2 Series will also have a better integrated iDrive controller that operates the widescreen display mounted atop the instrument panel in a similar fashion as what we've seen recently on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mercedes-benz+a-class/) and CLA-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cla-class/).
As mentioned about the exterior, the bigger wheels, blue brake calipers, dual exhaust outlet and subtle decklid spoiler all lead us to believe that this is the M-Sport, but it isn't sporty enough - inside or out - to make us think this is the rumored M2 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/31/bmw-files-trademark-for-m2/) model.BMW 2 Series shows us its insides (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/16/bmw-2-series-shows-us-its-insides/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Tue, 16 Apr 2013 17:46:00 EST.
