Most Affordable BMW Car in India

Not only in India but across the globe, Bayerische Motoren Werke or BMW is one of the biggest luxury car brands. In India, the esteemed German automaker holds nearly 32 percent of luxury car sales, the second largest after Mercedes-Benz. As is the case with all luxury cars, BMW cars are not affordable for most of us. Yet, if you just want to own a BMW car for the lowest possible price, here is the most affordable BMW car, and some of its BMW alternatives as pre-owned luxury cars.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

The cheapest BMW car in India is the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, priced at Rs. 43.90 – 46.90 lakh (ex-showroom). For your reference, its only rival is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine, priced at Rs. 46.05 – 48.55 lakh (ex-showroom). So, the BMW 2 Series is the more affordable of the two.

While the BMW 2 Series is BMW’s entry-level car, there is very little about it that can be called entry-level. The German sedan looks stunning and embodies the premium feel of BMW in every inch. With that being said, the 2 Series is most focused on what the BMW brand is most known for – driving fun. Its power-packed engines, with the petrol unit being the more exciting one, and the legendary BMW handling, deliver a thrilling drive. While a lot is on offer for the driver, the passenger can feel boxed in due to limited space in the rear seat. Even though the interior is top-notch and fit-finish is of high quality, the lack of adequate space can be a killjoy for rear passengers. A used BMW car with more space can be a better deal if you want more space for the rear passengers.
