The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 120D 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 DPF 177 SE AUTO6 is a compact premium convertible, with four seats and a folding roof. It offers a more distinctive, open-air alternative to the usual family hatchback, sitting between mainstream small cars and more expensive two-seat convertibles in the UK used market. Checks on mycarcheck.com recorded 58 look-ups covering 11 distinct cars, so figures offer a useful snapshot, not a market-wide guarantee. The average private-sale valuation was £4,700, with average recorded mileage of 88,000 and annual mileage of 9,000. Cars checked had averaged about four previous keepers. It suits couples or commuters seeking roof-down motoring, but rear-seat and boot space trail hatchbacks. The 177bhp diesel delivers economical-feeling performance, while the automatic eases traffic. Against rivals such as the Audi A3 Cabriolet, this BMW stands out for rear-wheel-drive character and an engaging feel; check service history and roof operation before any purchase.
