Take a look at the new curved display of the 2023 BMW 2 Series coupe thanks to the German configurator.

BMW is adding to its car interiors with incredible new giant screens called “curved display”. After the 2023MY 3-Series and M3, the 2nd series will also get a piece of the technology, despite making its debut less than a year ago.

BMW Germany configurator now features an updated 2 series that comes with a large screen that combines both the tool cluster and the information entertainment screen into a single unit controlled by BMW’s latest information entertainment software iDrive 8.

Although they look like a single screen, the system actually consists of two 12.3-inch displays behind the steering wheel and a 14.9-inch between the front passenger seats. Although the cluster of devices is the same size as the system shown when the car was launched in the summer of 2021, the information entertainment side of the device was previously much smaller by 10.25 inches.
