The BMW 2 SERIES GRAN TOURER (2015-18) 218I 5DR GRAN TOURER 1.5 SS 136 EU6 SE 6SPD is a family-focused MPV: taller and more versatile than a hatchback, but easier to place than a large SUV. Its seven-seat layout gives families flexibility, though the third row is best for occasional use. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 432 checks covering 147 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this model. Checked cars averaged £10,200 in private-sale value and 68,000 miles, with annual mileage around 9,000 and about 1.5 previous keepers.

With a petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, the 218i suits school runs, shopping and commuting. Its roomy cabin and premium feel set this BMW Gran Tourer apart from rivals such as the Volkswagen Touran and Ford C-MAX, appealing to families who want flexible space without needing a bulky SUV.
