The New 2 Series Gran Coupe maximizes convenience by incorporating various driver assistance systems previously available only in higher-end models, such as cruise control, parking assistant, and parking distance control system.

The parking assistant not only aids precise parallel or perpendicular parking through automatic parking support but also includes a new reversing assistant function. This system memorizes the vehicle's movements when driving forward at speeds below 36 km/h and can automatically reverse up to 50 meters along the same path to exit.

The new infotainment system provides various driving information while allowing easy control of vehicle functions. Navigation is standard on all New 2 Series Gran Coupe models, and the BMW Live Cockpit Professional offers a 10.25-inch control display and a high-resolution instrument cluster to provide diverse vehicle information necessary for driving.

The BMW Connected Package Professional supports services such as remote control of the vehicle via a smartphone app, Apple CarPlay available both wired and wirelessly, and real-time traffic information services.

In particular, the real-time traffic information service, incorporating SK Telecom's navigation service Tmap technology, receives Tmap's real-time traffic updates every 3 minutes through the SIM card installed in the vehicle, providing more accurate traffic information and optimized route guidance.
