2025 BMW 218 M Sport Sports Automatic Dual Clutch

2025 BMW 218 218 M Sport.

This 2025 BMW 218 M Sport Gran Coupe brings a distinctly sporting interpretation to BMW's compact four-door sedan range. Finished in Black Sapphire, it combines the low-slung proportions of a coupe-inspired body with the everyday accessibility of four doors and seating for five. As a company demonstrator with 6,921 km, it presents as a near-new example of the F74-generation 2 Series.

Power comes from a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 115.0 kW and 230 Nm. Its seven-speed sports automatic dual-clutch transmission sends drive to the front wheels, while the quoted combined fuel consumption is 6.3L/100km. This drivetrain provides a compact and efficient foundation for a car whose appeal is centred on responsive urban performance, polished road manners and the premium feel expected from a BMW.

The M Sport presentation gives the exterior a purposeful character without compromising the Gran Coupe's clean, elegant shape. The specification includes the M Sport Package Pro, with M Sport brakes featuring red high-gloss callipers, M Lights Shadow Line detailing, M seat belts, an M rear spoiler and extended high-gloss Shadow Line trim. The 19-inch M light-alloy Y-spoke Style 976 M wheels add visual presence and reinforce the car's performance-oriented stance.

A panorama glass roof is one of the more noticeable additions to the cabin, bringing extra light to the interior and helping the compact sedan feel more open. Inside, the black M Alcantara/Veganza combination is paired with blue contrast stitching, a multifunction M Sport steering wheel and heated steering wheel. Active seats for the driver and front passenger add further adjustment flexibility, while memory seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror support comfortable daily use.

The technology package is well suited to connected driving. BMW's Curved Display and iDrive interface provide the central control point, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allowing familiar smartphone functions to be integrated into the vehicle. Wireless phone charging, Digital Key Plus and a Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system extend the convenience and entertainment offering. Adaptive LED headlights and a head-up display are also listed among the vehicle's equipment.

Driver assistance features are substantial for a compact sedan. Driving Assistant Professional includes adaptive cruise control, while lane keeping assistance and lane departure warning are designed to support the driver during longer journeys. Parking Assistant with a reversing camera helps with close-quarters manoeuvring, complemented by fully automatic and remote parking assistance features listed for the vehicle. Integrated dash camera functionality, brake assist and selectable drive modes add further breadth to the electronic systems.

With its four-door layout, 430-litre boot and combination of premium cabin materials, connected technology and M Sport detailing, this 218 M Sport is configured as a compact BMW that balances visual distinction with practical everyday usability. The Black Sapphire exterior, panoramic roof, upgraded wheels and enhanced interior equipment give this demonstrator a specification that is notably richer than a basic model while retaining the manageable dimensions of a small sedan.
