The BMW 2 SERIES CONVERTIBLE (2014-18) 230I 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 SS 252 EU6 M SPORT PROFESSIONAL MEDIA 6SPD is a compact premium four-seat convertible for buyers wanting open-air motoring without moving to a larger luxury car. Two doors and a folding roof favour style over family practicality and cargo space. It suits couples, commuters and enthusiasts who want a car that feels lively on country roads, with room for rear passengers. M Sport trim, Professional Media and a six-speed manual add a driver-focused character; the 2.0-litre petrol engine offers brisk performance, though running costs will exceed those of smaller cars.
