India, Jan. 12 -- Now available in a single M Sport variant, the new BMW 220i is priced at Rs 40.90 lakh - that's about Rs 1.4 lakh cheaper than the similarly specced diesel. Powering the 220i is a 2.0-litre petrol mill that develops 189bhp and 280Nm

Less than three months into the launch of the all-new 2 Series Gran Coupe, BMW has added another variant to the model. At the time of its launch in October, the Munich-based carmaker had only introduced the 2 Series with a diesel heart. Now, the company has brought in the entry-level offering in the 220i guise. The petrol powered 220i is only available in a single M Sport variant and is priced at Rs 40.90 lakh. In comparison, the diesel 220d M Sport demands Rs 42.30 lakh.
