Interested in finding a great deal on the popular BMW 218?

Are you considering getting a used medium sized family car? The BMW 218 is a solid choice. AutoUncle offers an impressive selection of 1,722 cars in the UK, each one sourced from an online marketplace or dealership website.

What is the cost of a pre-owned BMW 218?

A used BMW 218 costs between £7,989 for the cheapest variant and £27,898 for the most expensive model.

The used car price for the German car can change greatly and depends on five primary factors: manufacturing year, engine size and power, fuel consumption of the car, how many miles the car has travelled not to mention equipment.

For instance, a more recent model with limited mileage, or a premium variant featuring a powerful engine, typically commands a higher price than, for example, an older model with more kilometres driven or with a lower equipment level.

Does the BMW 218 offer multiple trim lines?

The most popular equipment variants for the BMW 218 are:

While evaluating the cost of a pre-owned BMW 218, it's crucial to examine vehicles sharing identical trim level. If not, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to acquire.

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.
