Reminiscent of classic BMW coupes of yore, the 2-series offers connected steering, rev-loving engines, and corner-hugging handling. (There’s a convertible, too.) The base engine is a 240-hp 2.0-liter turbo four; a Track Handling package adds an adaptive suspension and upgraded steering and brakes. The M235i (a 2016 10Best) has a 320-hp 3.0-liter turbo six. Transmission choices for all are either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Rear-drive is standard; all-wheel drive is optional.
