What are the most popular fuel types for the BMW 218?

Petrol is the foremost fuel option for the BMW 218.

Fuel types for BMW 218:

• BMW 218 petrol: 1,422 cars currently available with an average price of £18,926
• BMW 218 diesel: 300 cars currently available with an average price of £12,411

In the process of choosing a fuel type, don’t overlook the importance of your driving habits. Is your driving primarily through city traffic or along open highways and motorways? How many miles do you rack up in an average week?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Note that in some countries, high-emission diesel engines have been banned from entering certain cities.

Is the BMW 218 available in multiple body variants?

The BMW 218 comes in various body types, coupe being the most popular. A coupe is a type of body design that prioritises style and sporty driving. The chassis is typically tighter and stronger than that of a sedan or SUV. This type of car is mostly for people without kids and who tend to travel light. Coupes are typically more expensive to buy than their equivalent sedan or hatchback sister models.
