About the BMW E88
Launched in 2007, the BMW 1 Series convertible (E88) brought open-top motoring to BMW’s compact range, pairing classic rear-wheel-drive handling with a traditional soft top. Based on the E87 hatchback, the E88 offered a wide engine range from the frugal 118d to the thrilling 135i with its twin-turbo six-cylinder. Compact, well-balanced and engaging to drive, it appealed to enthusiasts seeking an affordable premium convertible. Built alongside its siblings in Regensburg, the E88 remained in production until 2013, when the F22 2 Series convertible took over — but it remains a popular and accessible modern classic on the used market.
