"Thanks to some leaky websites, we can bring you the all-new BMW 2-series Coupe a little earlier than we expected," is how Autoweek begins its article accompanied by a fresh batch of photos that…it leaked just moments ago. Oh, my leak indeed…
Anyway, this latest group of press shots includes images of the regular 2-Series Coupe, the most powerful version of the range, the M235i and the sported up M Sport edition.
The report states that the new 2-Series will make its world premiere at the Detroit Auto Show in January and go on sale in the United States in the spring of 2014, where it will be available as the 228i powered by a 240hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot, and the M235i fitted with a 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six with 322 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque.
As mentioned earlier, European customers will get a bigger variety of engines, including more frugal diesel units.
Unless the leaks continue, we'll wait for BMW for the full details, possibly as early as tonight.
