5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW 230
1. Strong performance
The 2024 BMW 230 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that makes 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque—plenty of get-up-and-go for rides on the highway or jaunts around town. You’ll love how this little car handles, with responsive brakes and snappy acceleration. In fact, the BMW 230 with rear-wheel drive can sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new). Want even more handling prowess? Look for a model with the available M Sport suspension to keep body motion in check and M Sport rear differential to manage traction.
2. Nimble handling
Looking for a compact car for city driving? The 2024 BMW 230 is small, nimble, and incredibly entertaining to drive. This sporty two-door may have small proportions, but its handling is athletic and responsive. Whether you need to squeeze into a tight parking spot or change lanes on a busy highway, the dimensions of the BMW 230 make it easy to maneuver. With its comfortable driving position and refined ride, you may never want to leave the driver’s seat of this luxury car.
3. Good fuel economy
If you’d rather spend more time enjoying the drive than stop at a gas station, the 2024 BMW 230 is a good choice. The rear-wheel-drive 230i gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined fuel economy—a solid figure for a luxury coupe.
4. Upscale cabin
When you get into the 2024 BMW 230, you’ll enjoy a premium experience. The leatherette sport seats boast attractive colors like Cognac, Canberra Beige, or Black. Or, choose a model with available luxurious Vernasca leather seats in colors like Tacora Red, Oyster, or Black with Blue contrast stitching. At the center of it all is a curved panel that seamlessly blends the 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster into a single display. And with the available moonroof, you can enjoy a feeling of openness throughout the cabin.
5. Tons of tech
If you’re looking for the latest tech features, the 2024 BMW 230 doesn’t disappoint. You’ll get standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, along with multiple USB-C ports and an available wireless charging pad to keep your devices powered up on every journey. With the available 14-speaker Harman Kardon® premium audio system, you can hear your favorite songs clear as a bell. In addition, standard driver aids like lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, and automatic braking offer peace of mind on the road.
