2016 BMW 2 Series 228i xDrive SULEV 2dr Convertible AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

2016 BMW 228xi convertible is not a perfect car but after a lot of research, we narrowed down to this model. We really wanted an Audi A3 convertible but there were simply not that many of them for sale. The 228xi has been great. We have 20k miles on it and it runs great, it is sporty, quiet with the top up. It is comfortable for two adults and we were able to fit two more adults in the back seat but it was a tight fit. The 4 cylinder has plenty of power for daily driving. The convertible isn't as engaging to drive as the coupe, but we wanted a small economical convertible with four seats for fun drives to wineries and what not. I haven't driven many other convertibles other than a Mustang and an A5. The A5 is far better than the 228 and the Mustang's cheap quality and terrible ride was evident...please stay away from the Ford product. Some of the CONS to the 228: It is low to the ground so it may be hard to get in and out for some folks. It is hard to fish out the seatbelt to get bucked. There are a lot of hard plastics. PROS: soft top is wonderful. As a matter of fact, BMW discontinued hard top convertibles in 2020 and it will make soft tops only. I am a big fan.

As a long-time German car aficionado and high-performance driving instructor, I can say that this is the most amazing car I have ever owned. BMW handling is the best in the business, and this car is not only nimble but fast. And yet, it gets great fuel economy (upper 20s) and has all-wheel-drive. There are not many AWD convertibles for all-season fun! The cloth top allows for a very generous trunk and the rear seats fold flat for more cargo room. It has all the electronic bells and whistles and creature comforts, first-rate GPS and human-interface, comfortable sport seats, M-options, and it looks great. The ideal car.

Immensely fun to drive, relatively practical and (so far) reliable. Still... if you have children think twice before buying. Also, the price is a bit too high to qualify this vehicle as a "good value," per se. Here's hoping maintenance costs don't rise exponentially in the future...

This car is the funnest toy I have ever had! Incredibly fast, AWD holds the road in any weather, comfort and layout feel like a cockpit, and fuel economy is surprisingly high. It draws compliments from people who talk to me about its appearance. Back seats are serviceable and trunk adequate, but the car is best for two adults who have no kids and infrequent needs to carry passengers. Cannot wait to drive it each day. No complaints..."The Ultimate Driving Machine" tagline fits perfectly. UPDATE at 3 years of ownership: I am still in love with this BMW 2-series. No mechanical or any other problems and it runs as perfectly as it did the first day I drove it. It is STILL my favorite toy!

This is an amazing car! This is my first BMW and to be honest, I can't believe I've lived this long without one! I have the convertible and it is so beautiful. I love driving it and can't get enough of it. I have a 2006 GTO as well and they look quite nice in the garage together! I've had this car for 6 months now and it is still as fantastic as ever. It gets so many compliments!!! So glad I purchased this quick little beast. Update....my car is one year old. Is it possible to love a car TOO much? I probably do. This car is everything I've dreamed of. It's a head turner and I am so proud that I own this little bundle of fun. Best purchase I've ever made.
