Test drive with BMW or request a brochure Tweet Value 4 out of 5 Hit by un-BMW-like depreciation. Book value now only £8k. Great if you're buying now, but buying a cheaper example is false economy. Costs 1 out of 5 Cost me a small fortune to run - servicing and repair costs exceeded £2500 in 1 year! ECUs for virtually everything ensure that a BMW dealer visit is needed for even simple problems. 26mpg. Insurance group 15. Driving 5 out of 5 Lovely to drive with hood up or down. Smooth engine. Nice steering and gearbox. Handling very good for a RWD car. Performance 3 out of 5 Convertible is heavier than coupe and it shows in the performance. Nothing happens below 3500rpm. 328i a better bet. Reliability 4 out of 5 Mechanicals rock-solid, but reliability of auxilliary equipment not what I expected from BMW. Image 5 out of 5 Excellent. A real looker. Why else would I have put up with those running costs? Comfort 4 out of 5 With the hood up, you forget it's a convertible. Even with the roof down on the motorway, there's little bufferting. Functional dash ergonomically sound. Lumbar support on front seats not great.

Built in immobiliser, but it doesn't auto-arm. Service 4 out of 5 BMW dealers expensive, but honest and professional. Problems Bodywork Failed power hood motor (£700 to fix). Electric windows developed a mind of their own (£300 to fix). Engine - Gearbox Clutch (£450). Propshaft O-ring (£250). Other Heater fan (£150). Ok, so this car obviously hadn't been looked after, but I expected better from a BMW. Ownership Did you buy the car new? No Would you buy the same model again?
