BMW 3-Series Convertible

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The Motorsport Convertible version holds its value a bit. Always search for the genuine motorsport convertibles.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Certain parts are expensive, but to get the best out of your vehicle you should be willing to spend that little extra. You get just rewards.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A well maintained BM gives you endless driving pleasure. The rear wheel drive is easy to get used to.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The automatic has the same response as the manual 'cause of its sport/econ mode. Experience the kick down and you'll know what im talking about.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I bought my convertible as it had low mileage, but it wasn't really cared for, even though it had service history. After I spent a good amount of money which was worth it, it hasn't let me down.

    The motorsport version comes with factory fitted M-tec kit, so this is the only to go for. Put a nice set of alloy wheels on and you'll be turning heads.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Could've done with adjustable steering column. Leather interior, which is nice.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Always fit an aftermarket alarm with lots of sensors as it is a convertible, because there's a lot of jealous #@^^*# out there.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    BMW in Kentish Town were friendly and efficient in their service, but I don't how other BMW dealers treat their customers.
