The F22 BMW 2 Series is a compact coupé by German automaker BMW that entered production in Leipzig, Germany in November 2013. It was designed to replace the 1 Series coupé and convertible models as part of a new nomenclature that dictates the reservation of odd numbers for BMW's core lineup and even numbers for derivative models. A convertible model, codenamed F23, was put into production in November 2014.

The 2 Series is based on the second generation BMW 1 Series hatchback and adopts its front-engine, rear-wheel drive platform as well as most of its engine lineup. As such, the 2 Series is solely available with turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, dropping all naturally-aspirated petrol engines from the previous 1 Series generation. Since market launch, the range-topping M325i has been available, which is powered by a 3.0 litre inline-six turbocharged engine. A high-performance BMW M developed sports model, the M2, was released in 2015 to replace the 1 Series M Coupé.
