Front-wheel drive is offered on the 228, while the 228 xDrive and M235 xDrive use all-wheel drive. Premium unleaded fuel is required. Fuel economy is rated at 24 city and 33 highway MPG, with peak power arriving from 4,500 to 5,750 rpm and peak torque from 1,500 to 2,000 rpm.

Buying a 2026 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe in Boston
Herb Chambers BMW of Boston serves Boston, MA, from 1168 Commonwealth Avenue. The store receives vehicles on a rolling basis, so shoppers can search inventory for current new BMW listings and review the available trim and drivetrain choices.
A trade can be part of the purchase conversation through the dealership’s online trade valuation tool. Comparing the 228, 228 xDrive, and M235 xDrive helps clarify whether the priority is the $39,600 starting MSRP, all-wheel-drive traction, or the 312-horsepower performance configuration.
What to Weigh Before Buying
Start with drivetrain selection. The front-wheel-drive 228 emphasizes the model’s lowest starting price, while the 228 xDrive and M235 xDrive add all-wheel-drive configuration; the M235 xDrive also reaches 312 horsepower and a 4.7-second 0–60 mph time.
Fuel planning matters because premium unleaded is required. The BMW’s 24 city and 33 highway MPG ratings, 12-cubic-foot cargo area, and sedan dimensions provide useful benchmarks when comparing daily commuting needs with performance priorities.
Trim pricing spans $39,600 to $50,000 before tax, title, registration, and dealer fees. A careful comparison of equipment, power, drivetrain, and intended use can help narrow the configuration worth considering.
