Car Deal of the Day: Stand out with the stylish BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe for just £268 a month

The 2 Series Gran Coupe offers the best bits of the 1 Series but in a sleeker package. It’s our Deal of the Day for November 3

  • Sleek, four-door coupe styling; upmarket feel
  • Desirable M Sport model
  • Only £268.36 a month

If you've always craved a BMW that has a bit more exclusivity than a 1 Series but still want a compact car, then the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe could be the answer. Trouble is, it's a four-door coupe, and that means it'll likely hit your wallet hard on account of its extra style – but not with the Auto Express Buy A Car service.

Through our marketplace, ElectroLease is offering the slinky Bimmer for a very reasonable £268.36 a month right now – that's only around £7 dearer a month than the cheapest deal on a 1 Series through Auto Express Buy A Car, which looks amazing value to us. 

You'll be taking the keys to a 220 M Sport after you've laid out £3,519.32 as an initial payment, while this deal has a cap of 5,000 miles a year. Bumping this up to a more flexible 8,000 will only cost you an extra £20.10 a month, though. 

What's great about this deal is that it's for the desirable M Sport model. This trim brings sporty styling, little M Sport badges dotted around the car, and 18-inch bi-colour alloys.

Inside, you get sports seats trimmed in part-Alcantara upholstery with contrasting blue stitching, and a leather-wrapped 'M' steering wheel.

Because this is the latest 2 Series Gran Coupe, you get the updated interior, so it has a more hi-tech and luxurious feel. The digital dials and touchscreen are all housed in one giant, curved screen, and the dashboard design is modern.

Powering this 220 Gran Coupe is a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine. With 168bhp, it's a punchy unit, and surprisingly smooth and refined considering how many cylinders it has. That mild-hybrid tech also allows the 220 to return a claimed 53.5mpg on the combined cycle. 

Despite looking like the sportier model, the 2 Series Gran Coupe has a slightly softer set-up than the equivalent 1 Series. That doesn't mean it's a wallowy old thing, though, because standard-fit adaptive M suspension keeps the car tied down through corners, and the whole car has a very agile feel. You'll notice the difference between the two siblings on the motorway, though, where the Gran Coupe just feels a bit more like a cruiser. 

You do get slightly less space in the back of the 2 Series than in the 1 Series, but that's the price you pay for that sleeker styling and more exclusivity. On the other hand, it's by no means cramped in the back, and the boot is actually a few litres larger.
