You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
Manufacturer recall campaigns, fixed free of charge at a dealer:
- Fixation du moteur sur le berceau : rappel constructeur (218i, 218d, 220i, 223i, 225e xDrive, 230e xDrive)
- Ouverture de portière en cas de choc : rappel constructeur (218i, 218d, 220i, 223i, 225e xDrive, 230e xDrive)
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “BMW Série 2 Active Tourer”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Inspection checklist
BMW Série 2 Active Tourer II (U06) — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier les rappels par un concessionnaire BMW avec le numéro de série (fixation du moteur, portière).
- Contrôler la date de production : les rappels visent des périodes précises (2022, 2023-2024).
- Examiner l'usure des pneus : un propriétaire d'une 225e signale une usure prématurée.
- Vérifier le fonctionnement des phares automatiques et des aides à la conduite.
- Sur une hybride rechargeable, tester la charge et le mode électrique.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels constructeur ont-ils été effectués, avec justificatifs ?
- Quelle est la date de production et la motorisation exacte ?
- Le carnet d'entretien est-il complet dans le réseau BMW ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
No direct electric or hybrid equivalent in our guides. Simulate combustion vs electric cost
