Four-seat convertible cars aren't always the sharpest propositions from a driver's perspective but if you are interested in a used drop-top that has its hustle intact, BMW is a sensible place to start. The German marque routinely gives the driving dynamics of its vehicles a higher priority than is afforded by the majority of its rivals. In a class ...

This generation of BMW's 3 Series was launched in 2005 but in time honoured fashion, fans of the old wind-in-the-hair driving experience were forced to wait. It was 2007 before the convertible arrived but BMW was quickly forgiven any tardiness because this car was a groundbreaking one for the manufacturer, its first with a folding metal roof. As a ...
BMW had been selling soft-top 3 Series Convertibles for many years by the time this model arrived in 2007 but with this 3 Series, BMW felt the time was ripe to follow a divergent path and get with the technology that was driving huge customer demand at the time - folding hard top roofs.

The 3-Series Convertible petrol line-up starts with the 320i, then comes the 218bhp 325i model, which sits just below the 272bhp 330i derivative. At the top of the pile is the convertible version of the legendary M3 but another model gets everybody in the know excited, is the 306bhp 335i. This is a revolutionary engine insofar as it marked BMW's fi...
There are plenty of remotely affordable four-seat convertible cars for cruising around and enjoying the sunshine but not many can do this while also really entertaining their driver. The performance and handling of the 3 Series Convertible doesn't suffer too much from the introduction of the folding metal roof and it makes a stingy boot and tight r...

The BMW 3 Series Convertible is the best in the business and reaps the reward in sales. Don't expect to find any cheapies washing about the used network, but overall running costs needn't be punishing because of the steady residuals these cars command.

Exacting a significant price premium over used coupe rivals is all very well, but does the 3-series coupe cut the mustard on the road? It's hard not to think so, particularly in the six cylinder models with their dreamily smooth engine notes and exceptional refinement.
