MUNICH: BMW will celebrate the return of the Festival of Speed in 2021 with its first ever world premiere at Goodwood, England.

The all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé will make its global debut on July 8 on the famous 1.8km course.

Taking to the hill too will be the fastest and most powerful BMW M production car ever, the new M5 CS, whilst the Festival will also provide the stage for two exciting UK premieres for the brand: the new fully electric iX and i4.

The 2 Series Coupé will continue the long tradition of BMW’s driver-oriented, compact and powerful two-door models and represents the most modern interpretation of the legendary BMW 2002.



The combination of its compact dimensions, outstanding driving dynamics, optional 6-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, as well as extrovert design will make the 2 Series Coupé unique in the market.

Festival goers will be able to see the 2 Series Coupé unveiled at "BMW M Town" and seen on the hill for the first time in the "First Glance" category.

Alongside the 2 Series Coupé will be the M5 CS, the sportiest of the M5, and the most powerful production car in the history of the company.

Taking BMW M performance to an unprecedented level, the 635hp 4.4-litre V8 engine powers the M5 CS from 0-100kph in just 3.0 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 304kph.



Visitors to the Stable Yard, once again dedicated to BMW and themed as an "Electric Boulevard", will see the new BMW iX in the UK for the first time.

The "Electric Boulevard" will also showcase the first-ever BMW i4 gran coupe.

The festival will also host "BMW M Town" – offering an array of BMW product and experiences. Alongside the 2 Series Coupé, the star of the stand will be the M4 Competition x KITH. Limited to just 150 units worldwide and featuring unique exterior and interior design detail, this special edition model was created in collaboration with New York lifestyle brand KITH.
