The BMW 3 SERIES CONVERTIBLE (2007-14) 320D 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 DPF SS 184 EU5 SPORT PLUS EDITION 6SPD is a premium, four-seat, open-top diesel: a stylish alternative to a family hatchback or SUV, aimed at drivers wanting comfort with roof-down motoring. In the UK used market, it sits among compact executive convertibles, competing with Audi A5 Cabriolet and Mercedes-Benz CLK models. It is best suited to couples or small households who want a comfortable daily driver for commuting and longer journeys, with the extra pleasure of occasional open-air trips. The 2.0-litre diesel is designed to balance useful pace with sensible fuel use, while the Sport Plus Edition gives this 3 Series a more distinctive, well-equipped feel. Its relaxed ride and composed handling make it a strong all-rounder, rather than a tiny, purely weekend-focused roadster. mycarcheck.com has recorded 572 checks across 228 different VINs, giving a useful sample of interest in this model.
