Over the past year, we have filled our knowledge box with plenty of details on the new BMW 2-Series, from its exterior and interior looks, to more recently, its launch specifications, so the time is ripe for the official presentation, which according to the first official teaser, will take place next Friday, October 25.

The 1-Series Coupe replacing model will be followed shortly after by a soft-top convertible edition sporting the same range of exclusively turbocharged inline four- and six cylinder powerplants.

Common engines for Europe, North America and other western regions will include the gasoline-fueled 240hp 2.0-liter four-pot turbo on the 228i and the  322hp (326PS) 3.0-liter turbo six on the M235i. The Old Continent will also receive a base 2.0-liter turbo gasoline with 181hp and a selection of diesel units.

We expect some of the engines to be offered with all-wheel drive as well.
