What Car? says
For The 3 Series convertible drives superbly and there’s hardly any body shake
Against The extra body stiffening adds a considerable amount of weight, restricting the performance
Verdict
It's good to drive, desirable, roomy, comfortable and loses value slowly
Go for… 320Ci SE
Avoid… 318 Ci SE
- 1. Tracking on Sport models is sensitive and easily knocks out of true
- 2. Go for a model with a six-cylinder petrol engine, a 320i, 325i or 330i
- 3. The driving position is spot-on and the positioning of the controls is A1, too
- 4. The rear seats are strictly for two, rather than three people
- 5. The boot space is reduced once you've dropped the electrically operated roof
