BMW 3 SERIES CONVERTIBLE (2007-14) 320D 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 177 SE STEP AUTO6 is a premium four-seat cabriolet, sitting above mainstream drop-tops. Its folding metal roof gives coupe-like refinement when closed and open-air appeal when down, making it a choice for drivers who want style without giving up usability. The 2.0-litre diesel automatic is suited to commuting, longer trips and relaxed touring, with rear seats for occasional passengers. It best suits couples or small households seeking comfort and a more engaging drive than many rivals; compared with an Audi A4 Cabriolet, the BMW is known for balanced handling and a strong all-round character. mycarcheck.com records 51 look-ups across 25 VINs, so this is a useful but not huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £3,900, mileage of 117,000 and annual use of 7,000 miles; recorded keepers average just over five, a reminder to review each car’s history and condition.
