BMW 3-Series Convertible boot space, practicality and safety

2000 - 2006 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

Has a four-star Euro NCAP rating and Boasts six airbags as standard and a full compliment of electronic safety measures. Puts up a very good fight in the face of thieves who might otherwise find it a very tempting target.

More roomy than it used to be, but rear drive compromises boot capacity somewhat – it’s a good effort and very useable space, but there are more accommodating rivals which offer greater load space.
