BMW 1-Series Convertible (08 on) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
Last Updated: 23 February 2009
If you're after a stylish and small convertible, BMW's 1-Series Convertible fits the bill perfectly. You get all the build quality and sophistication you expect from the German make, but in a neat soft-top package. Unlike many convertibles, including the 3-Series, this model sticks with a fabric hood which takes up less boot space when it's folded down. It may not be as quiet or secure as a metal-folding roof, but this 1-Series is still a great all-rounder. Good to drive, refined and classy - an added bonus for owners is that it even ticks a few boxes when it comes to being green and cost effective to run.

Great to drive, neat styling, wonderful cabin, feels as solid as the Coupe

Limited room in the back, fabric roof operation is slow
