FAST FACTS
"The X2 is the only so-called 'SUV coupe' in the subcompact size class, and unlike most of its larger faux-coupe peers, it's actually almost as practical as its X1 SUV platform-mate. Despite the more rakish rear roofline, the X2 only loses about 10% of the X1's maximum cargo capacity. So if you like the way it looks, know that it does a decent impression of a full-fledged subcompact SUV in terms of versatility, too."—Ranked #3 out of 12 Subcompact Luxury SUVs

We're not against so-called "SUV coupes" in general, but the X2 doesn't make a strong case for itself relative to the mechanically identical — and handsome-in-its-own-right — X1. The X2 doesn't have as much room inside, and for better or worse, it looks less like an SUV.
As with the X1, we're hesitant to endorse the X2's M35i variant, simply because it's got basically the same 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine as the standard X2 xDrive28i. Yes, there's a lot more power, but is the experience different enough to justify the extra spend? Not in our view.
