It’s not very often a car museum wheels its finest exhibits out the door, transports them to a destination with fantastic driving roads, throws you the keys and says: “Here you go.

BMW gave their entry level coupe/convertible, the 2-Series, a refresh which includes a list of minor tweaks. The refresh applies to the whole range of 2-Series cars, starting from the pedestrian base models all the way up to the fire-breathing M2.
