The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 120D 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 DPF 177 SPORT STEP AUTO6 is a compact premium convertible, offering open-air motoring in a smaller package than larger touring cars. In the UK market it sits between mainstream small cars and luxury convertibles, with BMW badge appeal and a sporty feel. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 27 checks covering 13 different VINs, a modest sample that offers a useful snapshot rather than a market-wide verdict. Checks show average mileage of 92,000 miles, annual use around 6,000 miles and nearly four previous keepers. Average private sale valuation is £4,200, as recorded in these checks. With its folding roof and strong diesel pull, it suits commuters or couples wanting economical everyday travel with weekend top-down driving. The six-speed automatic makes traffic easy, while Sport trim adds a dynamic look. Compared with rivals such as the Audi A3 Cabriolet, the BMW offers a distinctly driver-focused feel.
