  • When it comes to BMW Convertibles, they'll usually tell you to stay away from the Z4 or this BMW 3 Series E93. But just why? Well that's what I'm going to talk about using this 2012 BMW 325i E93 that I've been driving these days. This car video by Abriatus, is definitely very interesting and relevant if you're watching from the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, or Australia.

    I had a 320i 2009 convertible and it was great. It was everything I ever wanted from a car. Hopefully one day I could own another one of those.

    I've had two of these and they're great cars. Had a 2009 335i with the N54 and then a 2012 325i with the N52. Only issues I ever had was with some random rattles and a flat battery. I think the exterior of these cars still looks amazing but the interior is starting to date now as it is the E9x platform. Would recommend getting the facelift which launched in around 2010 which had some additional features and some styling enhancements. The M-Sport pack looks amazing on these but the suspension does get so much firmer to the point where around town it could be a bit harsh. These are such a bargain car these days and as long as you keep the roof seals lubricated and the roof drains clear they should last very well.

    I didn’t think I’d went 1 but got a good deal in a beautiful clean garaged 2011 328i Top is clean just needs lube & seal conditioning. Driver seat bluster needs conditioning & touch up. It’s a fun leisure cruise car w/ friends exactly as you said. Comfortable

    Loved this! They did age well.
    I was actually considering one of these last year when I was car shopping, because I've never driven/had a convertible, and currently married with no kids it's a perfect moment to have a silly non-practical car.
    I was considering this or maybe an MX-5 NC with retractable hard top as well. But that one even with the roof up has a non existent space without "rear seats" or a boot that could be used for more than a grocery bag.
    This one on the other hand, I can imagine being surprisingly practical if you're clever enough 😁

      I agree! I actually used this car as my daily for about 10 days. Hard-top reliability issues aside, it's a fantastic and surprisingly practical car.

    one point I disagree with....if you load the trunk before opening the top, it has a lot of space for luggage compared to other convertibles

    VAMOOOOOOOOOO jajajaja.
    I'd love to know if these 3.0 NA engines are any less reliable than the E46 engines.
    I almost got an e46 convertible from 2006, but rust is an issue and the hardtop is tempting.
    which one should I get? only straight 6 non-turbo engines. 335 is not an option. 4cil isn't either.

    I own this car since a few months i couldn’t disagree more with you saying you could easily fit 2 adults in the backseats
