I recently got the BMW 216 Active Tourer, and I must say it left a lasting impression. Here's my review:
Performance: The driving experience was exceptional. The 216 Active Tourer effortlessly combines power and efficiency, providing a smooth ride with responsive handling. Whether navigating city streets or cruising on the expressway, the performance was consistently impressive.
Design and Style: BMW's commitment to sleek and modern design is evident in the 216 Active Tourer. The exterior is both stylish and dynamic, while the interior boasts a perfect blend of luxury and functionality. The spacious cabin and high-quality materials contribute to an overall sophisticated feel.
Versatility: One of the standout features for me was the versatility of the interior. The adjustable rear seats and ample cargo space make it a practical choice for families or those with an active lifestyle. The flexibility of the space truly adds to the vehicle's appeal.
Technology and Connectivity: BMW has equipped the 216 Active Tourer with cutting-edge technology. The idrive 9 infotainment system is user-friendly, and the connectivity options provide a seamless integration of Apple carplay. The advanced safety features like lane warning, blind spot and adaptive cruise control further enhance the overall driving experience. With the BMW app, I don't even have to bring my key along.
Fuel Efficiency: I was pleasantly surprised by the fuel efficiency of the 216 Active Tourer. I can get close to 8L/100km with my drive style
In conclusion, the BMW 216 Active Tourer exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, design, versatility, technology, and fuel efficiency. It's a well-rounded vehicle that caters to various needs, making it a standout choice in its category.

Fun as an MPV, hatch-like to drive on the road `
|
|
A touch of sportiness in the ride, a good smattering of premium touches in the cabin, and alright hatch-like looks make the 2 Series Active Tourer the perfect introduction to the BMW brand.

Good enough for 5 people `
|
|
Drove this for about a week so far,
Comfort - better than a Kia Niro, my old mazda 3, old VW jetta and honda civic.
Reliability - cant comment yet
Handling - if you drive it for the purpose it is meant for : family.. Then no issues. Despite what BMW calls its, its not Msport in any way.
Exterior styling - ok looks depends on individual but it looks nicer than their 4 series.
Interior design - NICE! If they have the rotary knob, even better. But if you know how to us a smart phone, you know how to use this. For those that complain about no physical buttons for aircon, honestly how often do you adjust the temp while driving???
Features - cool, safety features are all there.
Value for $ - well COE is sheettt now so what can i say?
Engine performance - again like handling, if you drive the car for what it is, no complaints. If you expect 'M" Performance, look elsewhere, you are driving a small MPV, not a low-slung sports car

U can't get the best out of it in Singapore `
|
|
I drove it as a tourist mainly in Germany and I enjoyed it. In city context, it is a bit under powered as acceleration is just sluggish, i dont understand why not 2T, 1.5T is just neither here nor there, but suspension is good enough for me. On autobahn it allows full cruise control at 180km/h without me controling the steering and I can really rest my foot. However, due to nature of car, u can't fly it beyond 190, because the shape of car and suspension simply cannot sustain the high speed turning. Cruise speed can be adjusted by every 10km/h by a deeper flip, hence safe. Auto drive is important for traveling as u can enjoy the view (hands still on steering wheel) , it alerts u when u needs to retake control. Within one day I could trust the auto drive to quite an extent. Especially in Switzerland, where speed lowers to 130km/h at max. Its build-in GPS recognise most of the roads for auto drive in Germany, Austria and Switzerland even including the small country side roads.
It's parking assist (full surrounding in plan view and side scrap warning with visual indication) also makes it easy in European context where parking lots are really small.
But then in Singapore, if u pay so much for a car. This car is then not up to expectation, as a MPV, it sacrifised driving dynamics but boot space is not big enough. As a bmw, it is just not powerful enough. Its steering is very mediocre, can't feel the bmw caliber at all.
