5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW 228

1. Solid performance 

If you’re looking for an agile luxury sedan, don’t miss the 2024 BMW 228. The turbocharged 228-hp 2.0L four-cylinder engine is paired with a smooth, eight-speed automatic transmission to power all your journeys. This sporty sedan also boasts brisk and responsive acceleration, going from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new). With light and precise steering, the BMW 228 is a capable companion on winding roads, in tight parking spots, and in any place in between. 

2. Comfortable cabin 

There’s room for five in the 2024 BMW 228, with soft and supportive leatherette seating and wide-opening doors that make it easy to get in and out. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps the car comfy in all seasons, and you can make quick adjustments with the user-friendly buttons beneath the infotainment screen. And with limited wind and road noise, it’s easy to carry on a conversation with your crew or just enjoy a peaceful ride. 

3. Useful interior storage 

For a compact car, the interior storage of the 2024 BMW 228 is surprisingly generous. With 15.2 cu-ft of cargo space, you can fit about five carry-on suitcases for a weekend getaway. Need more room? Just fold the 40/20/40 rear seats flat for longer items and bigger trips. Plus, it’s easy to keep your personal belongings close at hand in the BMW 228, with big door pockets and a perfect spot for your phone in front of the cup holders. 

4. Plenty of tech features 

If you’re getting behind the wheel but don’t want to leave your tech behind, the 2024 BMW 228 has you covered. With Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, and Bluetooth® capability—along with four USB ports and an available wireless charging pad—the BMW 228 makes it easy to stay connected on the road. And when you need a confidence boost, you’ll appreciate standard driver aids like blind-spot warning, forward collision warning with automatic braking, and lane departure warning. 

5. Stylish luxury sedan 

The 2024 BMW 228 is supremely stylish, with a striking exterior design. With its long and low roofline, this four-door sedan boasts a smooth profile and a sleek appearance. There are 11 exterior paint options, from the eye-popping Snapper Rocks Blue Metallic and Sunset Orange Metallic to the stately Black Sapphire Metallic and Storm Bay Metallic.
