The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 118I 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 143 EU5 SPORT STEP AUTO6 is a compact, premium four-seat convertible: a more stylish, open-air alternative to a family hatchback, rather than a practical SUV. Its 2.0-litre petrol engine and six-speed automatic suit relaxed everyday driving, while the Sport trim gives it a purposeful look.

Compared with the Audi A3 Cabriolet, its sporty BMW character stands out, though rear space is modest, so check roof operation.
