is proof that not every vehicle has to make perfect sense. The German brand basically invented the genre when it significantly reduced the usability of its otherwise luxurious and practicalby redesigning its roofline to reduce its capacity to hold humans and cargo while simultaneously making it more expensive. The, back in 2008 or today, doesn’t make sense. Except it sort of does once you realize and accept that it was all done in the name of style.

It comes as no surprise that interior spaciousness and cargo capacity are also better than before. BMW hasn’t listed full interior specs just yet, but notes “noticeable increases in shoulder and elbow room.” Rear-seat legroom is said to be up by a full inch, and indeed, none of my limbs were too pinched while folding myself into the back and getting comfy behind a virtual 6-foot driver. It’s not entirely cave-like in the back, either, though an X1 will be more friendly for family duty.

In the real world, there’s a brief lag right off idle before the power comes on, but it feels nice and meaty in the middle of its rev range. The seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox has a built-in mechanical limited slip differential and shifts quickly, whether responding to pulls of the wheel-mounted paddles or acting on its own.

On the positive side, the extended wheelbase of the new X2 means it’s less hypersensitive front-to-rear over bumps. The greater width offers strong cornering grip, and the stiffened structure means it settles more quickly, helped by new frequency-selective dampers with an additional sleeve designed to reduce unwanted suspension lift, and rebound valving that helps smooth small bumps.
