Product Overview

BMW 1 Series Convertible E88 is a compact convertible in production from 2008 to 2011, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.

Based on the E81/E87 1 Series, the E88 shares much of the design elements with the E82 1 Series Coupe. Like other hatchback-based convertibles, the E88 is rather awkward-looking with the top up, while its short profile also lacks elegance with the top down.

While the E82 1 Series offered rather good handling, the E88 is weaker in this regard.
