BMW 3-Series Convertible (2000 - 2006) boot space, practicality and safety

06 June 2019 by Parkers

Parkers overall rating: 5 out of 5 5.0

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.
