The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 118D 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 DPF 143 EU5 M SPORT 6SPD is a compact premium two-door convertible, offering an open-air alternative to the 1 Series hatchback. It sits in the UK’s small premium-car market, with M Sport styling and a folding roof giving it more occasion than a typical commuter hatch. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,534 checks across 631 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this specific version. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £4,300 and average recorded mileage of 98,000 miles. Annual mileage averages 6,000, while cars have had around four previous keepers, useful context when assessing any individual example. Best for couples, solo commuters and weekend drivers, its rear seats are occasional space. The 118d diesel suits longer journeys, while its rear-wheel-drive feel distinguishes it from front-drive rivals such as the Audi A3 Cabriolet. Check service history and roof operation carefully before buying an example.
