2026 BMW 230i Coupé Automatic

2026 BMW 230i Coupé 230i.

The 2026 BMW 230i Coupé combines the compact proportions of a two-door sports car with the everyday usability of a four-seat cabin. Its rear-wheel-drive layout, automatic transmission and 190 kW petrol engine give the car a distinctly driver-focused character, while the equipment specification is designed to make regular commuting and longer trips more comfortable and convenient.

With 400Nm of torque and a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.80 seconds, the 230i has the performance credentials expected of a BMW coupé. Variable sport steering and the M Sport brake system support a more responsive driving experience, while the sports automatic Steptronic transmission is suited to both relaxed cruising and more involved driving. The listed maximum speed is 250 km/h.

The cabin is configured for four occupants and includes electric seat adjustment with memory, heating for the driver and front passenger, and lumbar support for both front seats. Automatic air conditioning helps maintain a comfortable interior environment, while Comfort Access reduces the need to use the key when entering or starting the vehicle. The black interior provides a restrained match for the black exterior finish.

BMW Live Cockpit Professional provides the central technology platform, supported by Connected Package Professional, a personal eSIM, TeleServices and DAB+ digital radio. Wireless charging storage helps keep compatible devices ready for use, and the HiFi loudspeaker system is intended to provide a more engaging audio experience. Intelligent Emergency Calling is also included as part of the vehicle's connected safety equipment.

Driver assistance features include Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, Driving Assistant, Active Guard Plus and Active Pedestrian Protection. Parking Assistant Plus is useful in tighter urban spaces, while the exterior mirror package, adaptive LED headlights, high-beam assistance and the automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror add convenience during changing traffic and light conditions. A tyre pressure monitoring system and anti-theft security system provide further practical support.

The vehicle is specified with M Sport equipment, including an M leather steering wheel, M Aerodynamics package, M Sport suspension, anthracite M headliner, ambient lighting and Fine-Brushed Aluminium interior trim. M High-Gloss Shadow Line details reinforce the coupé's darker exterior theme. Factory options listed for this example include 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in Double-spoke style 995 M Jet Black with mixed tyres, illuminated M highlighters and Black Sapphire metallic paint.
