Used BMW 216

The BMW 216 is an engine designation in the 2 Series family of executive cars, offering entry-level 216 Gran Tourers and Active Tourers with front-wheel drive and a compact people-carrier format. First arriving in 2014, these models come with petrol and diesel engines, plenty of space, and strong safety credentials. The 216d diesel stands out for low running costs and reliability, making it ideal for commuting and family life. Across two generations, the 216 has gained extra comfort, more in-car tech, and increasingly efficient engines, standing out against rivals like the VW Golf SV and Mercedes B-Class for cabin finish and driveability.

Pros

Excellent fuel economy
Good safety, technology and equipment levels
BMW looks and performance with plenty of space

Cons

Not the same performance you get from higher-spec BMWs
Ride loses quality on rough surfaces
Less practical than some rivals

What are the key safety features of the BMW 216?

216s come with the essential safety kit you'd expect of BMW – think multiple airbags, stability control, emergency city braking and ISOFIX child-seat mounts in the back. Newer models add lane-departure warning and active braking aids, making 216 Gran Tourers and Active Tourers solid choices for family motoring.
What engine options are available with the BMW 216?

The 216d is a 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel engine focused on maximum efficiency. The 216i is the 1.5-litre petrol alternative and offers the lowest power among the Active Tourer versions. Outputs for both the diesel and petrol are up to 120bhp.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the BMW 216?

Standard equipment includes a crisp infotainment screen with Bluetooth, DAB, USB and navigation. BMW’s iDrive infotainment controller is notably easy to use even on the move. Look out for models with parking sensors, automatic lights and climate control. Higher trims offer larger screens, real-time traffic info and upgraded sound systems.
What is the fuel consumption of the BMW 216?

The BMW 216d is praised for its frugal fuel economy. Figures suggest post-2018 Active Tourers achieve up to 74mpg in combined driving. Real-world averages depend on how and where you drive, but expect mid to high 60s in mixed use. This makes the 216 diesel engine very efficient for a practical family car.
What should I check when buying a used BMW 216?

Look out for a full service history, ensuring software updates and recalls have been fully attended to. Check the rear seat and boot mechanisms, as these get frequent use. Test the infotainment system and all electrics are in working order. For additional peace of mind, consider booking The AA Vehicle Inspection.
Are BMW 216 cars reliable?

Most owners find 216s to be solid, reliable performers if serviced properly. As BMW enjoys high ranking on reliability surveys, you can trust that the engines are robust and interior materials will hold up well. Some early cars had issues with in-car tech or sensors, but most used models are dependable, especially if they're well looked after.
