Reliability snapshot
The G42 2 Series returns to a rear-wheel-drive coupe layout with modular B-series engines. It is a recent model with limited long-term data; reported items are mostly minor electronics and routine maintenance. The B48 four-cylinder and B58 six-cylinder turbos are well regarded (the M240i and M2 use the higher-output versions). Following the service schedule is the main need.
