The new car orderer of our almost four and a half year old 218i convertibles invested in all sorts of amenities: Luxury Line package, large 18-inch rims, automatic air conditioning, metallic paint, business package and a silver-effect hood fabric. In addition, the color combination of seaside blue paintwork and cognac-colored leather seats.
BMW 2 Series Convertible used: 23,800 euros after four and a half years
All in all, the new price in February 2018 added up to an impressive 42,190 euros according to the Schwacke database. After 85,305 kilometers, the tastefully configured cabriolet from Adolf Flohr Automobile is offered for sale in Hamburg for 23,800 euros. A fair offer, because the vehicle, which has had a checkbook and has not been involved in an accident, recently received a fresh inspection service bmwincluding new brake discs and pads in front.
The soft top is opened within 20 seconds
The coupé sister model can’t do it any better either. A clear advantage over the open one one: The trunk volume is with 350 liters suitable for everyday use. And what can the electrohydraulic soft top do? Ideally, it gives a clear view of a blue sky within just 20 seconds at the touch of a button. This is theoretically possible up to a speed of 50 km/h. But actually not recommended if you hope for a long-term problem-free operation.

Except for a recall due to possibly tearing straps on extremely early models and very rarely defective hydraulic pumps (watch out for noticeable background noise!), there are hardly any worries. Important for the majority of those interested in the 2er used as an everyday car: how does the three-cylinder base fare?
The 136 hp 1.5 liter turbo engine makes purists wrinkle their noses. Nevertheless, she does bmw-machine called B38 internally doesn’t do its job badly. bmw recommends filling up with Super Plus, but the engine is amazingly economical with average consumption of around six and a half liters.
Performance similar to that of a sports car thanks to 245 hp
As is typical for the brand, much more power was also possible. Already the unfortunately only four-cylinder 228i offers performance similar to a sports car thanks to 245 hp. The highlight of the series was the 340 hp six-cylinder engine, which was expensive to maintain M240i. Depending on the transmission, it enables the sprint to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. Used, it starts at just under 30,000 euros.
