Are you considering purchasing a used medium sized family car? Then the BMW 228 is an excellent option. At AutoUncle, we have assembled a collection of 6 used BMW 228 cars sourced from different dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What should I pay for a used BMW 228?

A used BMW 228 costs between £9,170 for the cheapest variant and £13,499 for the most expensive model.

The cost of a pre-owned BMW 228 is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include the year, engine size and performance, fuel economy of the car, how much the car's odometer reads not to mention the trim level of the car.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than, for example, an older car without special equipment and with many kilometres behind it.

What are the available trim levels for the BMW 228?

The BMW 228 is only available in one trim level, the BMW 228 M Sport.

As you examine the price of a used BMW 228, it's necessary to analyze vehicles having the same engines and equipment. If you don't, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to purchase.

Is the BMW 228 available with multiple fuel options?

Petrol is the foremost fuel option for the BMW 228.

Before deciding on a fuel type to buy, we highly recommend taking some time to consider your current driving habits. On a regular week, how far do you drive? Do you engage in many brief trips, or are your drives generally longer in distance?

Electric cars, plug-in hybrids and petrol are great for short distances. For long daily driving, electric cars are a strong choice if you can charge. 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. In a few cases with long journeys and limited charging infrastructure, diesel can be a practical solution. Be aware that in a number of countries, cities have implemented bans on diesel engines with high emissions.

What body types do the BMW 228 have?

With the coupe being the more popular choice, the BMW 228 is offered in both coupe and cabriolet body styles in the UK. The coupe as a body type prioritises style and sporty driving. Compared to a sedan or an SUV, the chassis tends to be tighter and stronger. This body type is mostly for people without children, who usually travel light. This style is often more expensive than equivalent sedan or hatchback sister models.
