2011 BMW 1 Series Convertible M Sport

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now, and it’s honestly been a joy to drive—especially when the sun’s out. It’s a 2011 118d M Sport Convertible, 2.0L diesel, manual transmission, and I’ve had it through quite a few seasons in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea.

It’s got that M Sport look—more aggressive styling, sportier feel, and the interior’s still got that premium touch. I’ve kept it well maintained, so I can say with confidence it’s been through full BMW dealer service history. The last oil service was just two weeks ago, and I’ve had the MOT done—everything’s been checked, including the rear brakes. All advisories have been dealt with, and the roof works smoothly when you need it.

117,000 miles on the clock, and it still drives like a dream. No issues, no nagging warnings—just smooth, quiet, and responsive. The manual gearbox isn’t flashy, but it’s solid and gives you that real driver connection. Inside and out, it’s clean and tidy.

I’m not selling it for a quick cash grab—more like letting it go because I’ve moved on to something else. It’s been a reliable companion through summers, weekend drives, and just plain daily use. If you’re into classic convertibles with a bit of character and a bit of practicality, this one’s a solid pick.

It’s worth noting it’s been well looked after and has no major repairs—just regular maintenance and good care. I’m happy to give a bit of context if you’re curious.
