BMW 2 Series Active Tourer gets (slightly inappropriate) M Sport Package

The BMW 2 Series active Tourer moves to the butch side with an M Sport Package

Purists moan, but the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer MPV is a sensible move by BMW and aimed at BMW lovers who need a BMW equivalent to the Mercedes B Class; a premium family car for shifting kids and stuff around. Using the same platform as the all new MINI, the 2 Series Active Tourer is BMW’s first front wheel drive car, although a 225i Active Tourer will go on sale in November complete with BMW’s 4WD xDrive.

But the 2 Series Active Tourer wouldn’t be a BMW offering unless it also came with the option of an M Sport Pack, which is exactly what will be on offer – however unsuited the Active Tourer may seem for such sporty embellishments – when the xDrive Active Tourer arrives in November (although the M Sport Pack will be offered across the whole Active Tourer range).

As you’d expect, it’s the usual M Sport fodder that titivates the Active Tourer with a sport body kit, black grill, tweaked suspension, 17″ or 18″ alloys and an interior that sports new sports seats with special upholstery and an M-Sport steering wheel.

There’s no word yet on how much extra the M Sport Package for the 2 Series Active Tourer will cost, but expect it to be in the region of £2k, making the entry-level model around £25k.
