BMW releases X2 (s or x)Drive 28i Edition M Mesh trim level


The BMW X2 is one of my favorites in their line up. It's the right size, looks great, and has decent performance with the 2.8-liter turbo four mated to an eight-speed automatic. 0 to 60 times are in the low to mid-range 6s depending on whether you choose the sDrive or xDrive (all-wheel drive) option. If you want more go, step up to the X2 with the 3.5-liter engine. What the M Edition Mesh gets you is trim from the M Sport X exterior package like the M Mesh kidney grille, choice of metallic paint including, for the first time on the X2, Brooklyn Grey Metallic, new 19-inch M Aerodynamic Style 919M wheels with orange or black highlights, 8-Speed Sport automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters, specially selected interior appointments including Edition badging, and M Sport Seats with leather upholstery. 20-inch wheels are optional. You can get your X2 Edition M Mesh in any color as long as it's one of these choices - Alpine White, Brooklyn Grey Metallic, Phytonic Blue Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic, and Sunset Orange Metallic. The Shadowline trim is nice as are the leather seats. Luckily for US customers, the Orange stripes are not included (which is the one thing I don't like). All this goodness will set you back about $3,550 on top of the X2 xDrive28i's $36,600 plus taxes. fees, destination ($995), and options and the X2 xDrive28i's $38,600 plus. EPA-rated fuel economy is 24 city, 31 highway, and 27 combined. (The xDrive model gets 1 mpg more on the highway - go figure.)  The X2 Edition M Mesh models will be available starting November 2020. If this looks like your thang, let your local dealer know. For more info, check out the media release, one pic, and spec chart after the "read more" jump. Now, where are the hybrids and EV models...

Exterior Design 

The Edition M Mesh includes exterior features from the optional M Sport X package such as the M Sport Exterior package, Shadowline Trim and Extended Shadowline Trim. The new high-gloss black BMW M Mesh kidney grille has three-dimensional mesh-inserts and launches with 11/20 production on the M235i but is now also available on 28i models with the Edition M Mesh package.

Shadowline exterior trim includes high-gloss black window and exterior mirror surrounds and B-pillar and C-pillar trim. The rear trunk lid badge surround and the exhaust tips are finished in black chrome.

Five exteriors color choices – Alpine White, Brooklyn Grey Metallic (new), Phytonic Blue Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic and Sunset Orange Metallic - make up the paint selection for the special edition package. U.S. models do not feature orange or black exterior decals.

Unique new 19-inch and optional 20-inch M Aerodynamic wheels with either black or orange highlights complete the exterior appearance. The 19-inch wheels are shod with 225/45R19 runflat tires while the 20-inch wheels are equipped with 225/40R20 runflat tires. Both wheel sizes are available with a choice of either all-season or summer performance tires.

Interior Design

The interior of the Edition M Mesh package is highlighted by the M Sport seats with integrated headrests - previously only available on the X2 M35i – which are finished in Black Perforated Dakota Leather. Special door sills with “Edition” lettering, Aluminum Hexagon trim with Pearl Grey Chrome accents and an M Sport steering wheel with paddle shifters are included.

A standard 8-speed Sport Steptronic automatic transmission allows for quick and seamless gear shifts in either automatic mode or in manual mode via the gear selector lever or steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
