A compact BMW with big-time character

Drive a 2 Series

A BMW 2 Series car rental puts a compact, driver-focused BMW in your hands — a sharp two-door Coupe or a roomier Gran Coupe. On Turo, you book the exact one you want from a local vehicle owner.

The 2 Series comes in two shapes, and both put you first. The Coupe is a two-door, rear-wheel-drive-based car built around the driver, and the Gran Coupe adds four doors and more interior space. Start with BMW rental in Canada to see what's near you.

On Turo, you book the exact car you see from a local vehicle owner — no "or similar" substitutions. Choose the pickup or delivery options the listing offers, then book for days, weeks, or months.

Turbocharged inline-six punch

The M240i xDrive Coupe pairs a 3.0 L turbo inline-six with an eight-speed automatic and xDrive all-wheel drive. That combo runs 0-60 mph in 4.1 sec — quick enough to make every on-ramp feel like an occasion. For a calmer daily driver, the 230i xDrive uses a 2.0 L turbo four with 255 hp.

Coupe or Gran Coupe, your call

The Coupe is the purist's pick. You get two doors, four seats, and 13.8 cu ft of cargo space on a rear-wheel-drive-based layout tuned for the driver. It's a natural fit for solo drives and trips for two.

The Gran Coupe trades a little cargo space for everyday practicality. You get four doors, five seats, and 12.0 cu ft of cargo, built on a front-wheel-drive architecture with more interior space. BMW assembles it in Leipzig, Germany — a fun detail to share with your passengers.

A modern, screen-forward cockpit

Slide into a Gran Coupe and two screens frame your view. A 10.25-in digital cluster sits behind the wheel, and a 10.7-in touchscreen runs BMW's iDrive 9 system. The layout keeps key information right in your line of sight.

Some cars add the optional Parking Assistant Plus from the Technology Package. It brings Drive Recorder and Parking View, plus expanded partially automated driving and parking functions — handy when you're easing into a tight downtown spot. Features vary by car and listing, so check the details on each listing before you book.

Stand out with a 2 Series

The 2 Series brings compact premium to city weekends, couples' getaways, and highway drives between Canadian cities. It's small enough to slip through downtown traffic and polished enough to make the drive part of the plan. The 230i xDrive Coupe uses 8.4 L/100 km combined, and the 2 Series sits comfortably among luxury car rentals on Turo.

Top 2 Series features

M performance trims

The 2 Series offers an M performance trim for each body style. The M240i xDrive Coupe makes 386 hp and runs 0-60 mph in 4.1 sec. The M235 xDrive Gran Coupe makes 312 hp, runs 0-60 mph in 4.7 sec, and tops out at 130 mph.

Both send power through xDrive all-wheel drive, so the grip keeps pace with the go. Pick the Coupe for maximum punch, or choose the Gran Coupe for M flavour with room for five. Either way, you get a compact BMW with serious performance credentials.

Fresh-generation design

Both 2 Series body styles come from recent generations. Production of the G42 Coupe began on September 2, 2021. BMW revealed the second-generation F74 Gran Coupe on October 15, 2024.

The two share a name but follow different blueprints. The Coupe keeps a rear-wheel-drive-based layout for a driver-focused feel, while the Gran Coupe uses a front-wheel-drive architecture for more interior space. Some listings may include earlier model years, so check the year on each listing if you want the latest design.

Efficient everyday turbo-four

The turbo-four trims deliver plenty of pace for daily driving. The 230i xDrive Coupe pairs a 2.0 L turbo four with an eight-speed automatic, making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft. It runs 0-100 km/h in 5.6 sec and uses 8.4 L/100 km combined.

The 228 xDrive Gran Coupe makes 241 hp and uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It runs 0-60 mph in 5.8 sec — brisk enough for confident highway merges. Either trim suits commutes, errands, and longer drives between cities.

Top tips and things to know before renting a 2 Series

Pick your body style first, then check each listing for trim, distance limits, and price. These tips help you find the right 2 Series for your trip.

Get to know your 2 Series

Choose by passengers and luggage. The Coupe seats four with 13.8 cu ft of cargo, and the Gran Coupe seats five with 12.0 cu ft. Check each listing for the trim, xDrive, and features, since equipment varies by car.

2 Series driving tips

The xDrive trims covered here send power to all four wheels, so check the listing to confirm which trim you're booking. Before you go, see whether the listing offers unlimited distance or sets a daily distance limit.

When you book in Canada, you can drive across provincial borders and across the US-Canada border. Driving into Mexico is not permitted.

How much does it cost to rent a 2 Series?

Local vehicle owners set the price on each listing, and it varies by city, dates, and trim. Many offer discounts on weekly and monthly trips, so a longer booking can lower your daily rate. For a month or more, explore long-term car rental on Turo.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
