The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 320CI 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.2 REV 03 is a four-seat, open-top version of BMW’s compact executive car, offering a more stylish, premium feel than an ordinary family hatchback. In the UK used market, it appeals to buyers wanting classic BMW appeal and sunny-day motoring at a relatively accessible price. It suits couples, singles or small households seeking relaxed weekend drives and occasional everyday use, rather than buyers prioritising maximum space or low running costs. Compared with rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz CLK and Audi A4 Cabriolet, the 320Ci is known for balanced handling, an engaging drive and a familiar, understated cabin. Mycarcheck records 16 look-ups across six VINs, a modest sample. Average private-sale valuation is £1,300; mileage averages 90,000, with 2,000 miles driven annually and just over five previous keepers. Treat these as context, not guarantees: check each car’s history, condition and roof operation before buying.
