BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 318CI 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 SE AUTO
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 318CI 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 SE AUTO is a premium convertible, not a family hatchback or SUV. It brings open-air motoring to the familiar 3 Series package, with automatic transmission and SE trim. In the UK used market, it appeals to buyers seeking an affordable, stylish classic.
mycarcheck.com records 220 checks covering 87 distinct VINs, a snapshot of buyer interest. The data shows an average private-sale value of £1,500, about 80,000 miles and 4,000 miles driven yearly; cars averaged just over four previous keepers. These are guide figures, not a valuation or guarantee for any individual car.
It suits couples and drivers wanting weekend trips or sunny-day cruising, but limited rear-seat and boot space make it less suited to family duties. Compared with the Audi A4 Cabriolet, its draw is the engaging 3 Series driving feel and BMW styling. Check history, roof operation and condition before buying.
Buying a BMW 3 Series convertible? Don’t risk hidden finance, theft, write-off damage or mileage issues—and older cars can bring costly surprises. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
