This 2-series is set to be larger than the outgoing model. The standard 230i (pictured in white) is 4.3 inches longer than its predecessor, it's 2.6 inches wider, and its wheelbase is stretched by 2.0 inches. Front and rear track widths have also increased, by 2.8 inches at the front and 1.9 inches at the rear on the 230i and by 2.5 inches at the front and 2.4 inches at the rear for the more powerful M240i model (pictured in purple).
and this..

While looking like a modern (and less attractive) take on a classic Bimmer, the new 2 Series is bigger than the car it replaces. Track widths are up for the base 230i models (2.8-inches front, 1.9-inches in the rear) and the M240i xDrive (2.5-inches front, 2.4-inches out back), and the car rides on a two-inch-longer wheelbase than the previous car. That should pay dividends for backseat passengers, as the last 2 Series was cramped if you weren't driving or riding shotgun; as a bonus, the longer wheelbase should strengthen the 2's high speed stability.
