I thought the new X2 (like the current X1) shared the underpinnings of the MINI Countryman platform...so, shouldn't ALL the X2s have mechanical transmission levers?
Mr. Wood's example has the BMW Electronic Shifter. What gives? |

My Reading:
-obviously sport auto - with buttons - like on pic - must have electronic gearshift -7-speed with Double Clutch - El Cheapo -has mechanical. Note: traditionally DC is a high tech gearbox, but lately also in low cost versions - from China? |

25d will have the ugly lever, from my info.
This one is 20d. Also lower than 20 will have the nicer lever. Could OP give us a photo with the VIN so we could check if it can be retrofitable? |

Saw one yesterday. The exterior is much nicer than the pictures lead on. The interior is cheap and feels like an x1

"reasonably equipped.. "
Personally.. when I walk into dealers in DFW.. it seems EVERY car is priced at 50-57K whether it's a 2 series or X1 or X2 that is loaded, or it is an base model of some other vehicles like a 3 or 4 series or X3/X4 with an M sport package, tech package etc... As far as the X2 pictured.. it will look tons better in 2 years when they make all of them body colored rather than the cheap gray plastic on the rockers and front and rear valances.. |

Car actually looks way better in these pics and much more like the concept... HOWEVER, the interior looks naff... and that’s what the driver will be looking at 99% of the time... so it’s a no thank you from me!
And with the dogs dinner that is the X4 (but it may look better in the metal) not to mention the inflated price, I’ll await the G20 I think |

It will always look weird to me on the right.
For the X2, just saw it at the Chicago auto show and it’s pretty hideous from the front.
