The smallest member of the BMW family has been given a mid-life facelift for 2015. The design changes are very subtle so you won’t be alone if you don’t notice the difference. The big news is that there are more efficient engines on offer and kit like online services and an updated parking assist system now available as standard.

Replacing the popular 1 Series convertible is this, the all-new BMW 2 Series Convertible. It’s the third model in the company‘s 2 Series line-up (although there is more on the way!) and goes head-to-head with the likes of the Audi A3 Cabriolet and Vauxhall Cascada.

The 2 Series convertible is bigger and more practical than the 1 Series convertible and looks as good, if not better than the model it’s replacing, it’s a no-brainer for us.

BMW 6 Series facelift
Updated this year, the BMW 6 Series now has cleaner and more efficient engines on offer and more kit available as standard. It was a great looking car already so unsurprisingly design changes have been small, with only a few sporty touches added. Standard kit offers much more value for money though with Full LED headlights now available as standard plus BMW’s latest ConnectedDrive navigation and infotainment package with head-up display.
