From the five-door 1 Series hatch, the 1 Series convertible has grown. With less focus on practicality, the little BMW soft top becomes a reasonably affordable lifestyle statement that seats four, is fun to drive, classy and cute to look at.

The mid-range 125i's 160kW/270Nm three-litre six offers six-speed auto or manual transmission choices. Equipment includes stability and traction control, four airbags, automatic climate control, 17-inch alloys, cruise control, leather trim, heated sport front seats, parking sensors, trip computer and single-CD audio.
