BMW 228i Parts & Accessories

The BMW 228i is the N20-powered variant of the F22 2 Series coupe, delivering 240 hp from a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four in a rear-wheel drive platform that punches well above its class. The F22's compact dimensions, balanced chassis, and responsive engine make it one of the best coupe platforms for affordable high-performance upgrades.

Popular Upgrades

Cat-back exhaust systems and downpipes are top mods for the 228i, opening up the N20's sound and supporting power gains on a tune. Coilovers lower the F22's ride height and sharpen cornering response, taking full advantage of the rear-wheel drive layout. Cold air intakes and intercooler upgrades support stage 1 and stage 2 ECU maps that push the 228i's output well past the stock 240 hp figure.

How much power can the BMW 228i N20 make on a tune?

The N20 engine responds well to ECU tuning. A stage 1 map typically brings the 228i to 280–300 hp. With a supporting downpipe, intake, and intercooler on a stage 2 map, output reaches 320+ hp — a substantial gain that transforms the F22's already engaging driving character into a serious performance coupe.

Is the BMW 228i a better performance platform than the 220i?

The 228i offers more factory power from the N20 versus the 220i's B48 and has a stronger tuning heritage in the BMW community. Both share the F22 rear-wheel-drive platform, so suspension and brake upgrades are interchangeable. The 228i is generally the preferred starting point for performance builds on the F22 platform.
