The 2 Series Gran Coupe is based on the BMW 1 Series tested in 2019. Where necessary, additional tests have been performed and test results have been reviewed. Based on this analysis, Euro NCAP concludes that the rating of the 1 Series can be applied also to the 2 Series Gran Coupe, with the following exception: the 2 Series Gran Coupe and, since October 2020, the 1 Series are now equipped with front seats and head restraints which offer better whiplash protection than those originally tested in the 1 Series and the car qualifies for points in AEB City. As a consequence, the adult occupant score of the 2 Series is higher than that of the 1 Series.
The passenger compartment of the 3-series remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. BMW showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants ofdifferent sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver and rear passenger wasgood or adequate for all critical body areas. The car scored maximum points in both side impact tests, with good protection of all criticalbody areas in both the barrier impact and the more severe pole test. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated goodprotection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated goodwhiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system scored maximum points in tests of its functionality atlow, city-driving speeds, with collisions avoided in all test scenarios.

In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good or adequate.Protection of the rear passenger was good apart from the chest, for which dummy readings of compression indicated weak protection. Thecar scored maximum points in both side impact tests, with good protection of all critical body areas in both the barrier impact and the moresevere pole test. A geometric assessment of the rear seats and head restraints indicated good protection against whiplash injuries in theevent of a rear-end collision. Tests on the front seats demonstrated only marginal whiplash protection. The autonomous emergencybraking system performed well in all tests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving. However, the points for AEB City werenot awarded as good front head restraint performance is a pre-requisite for the additional reward for active safety.
