Used BMW 225 for sale

Most BMW 225 models come equipped with a reassuring list of safety features. Common kit includes multiple airbags, stability and traction control, ISOFIX child seat mounts and tyre-pressure monitoring. Higher trims add active safety elements like lane-departure warning, city braking and adaptive cruise control.

You'll find many engine options among used BMW 225s, with petrols, diesels and plug-in hybrids all featured. The coupe offers a range running from a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with three cylinders to a 3.0-litre straight-six turbocharged petrol engine. The MPVs offer similar diversity, with 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre options—sometimes paired with BMW’s xDrive four-wheel drive—delivering speed, acceleration, and power.

BMW 225 models come well-equipped with technology. Most have BMW’s iDrive infotainment system with a 6.5-inch display, DAB radio, Bluetooth and sat-nav. Climate control, rear parking sensors and automatic lights are also common, while higher trims add larger screens, upgraded sound systems and leather interiors.

Fuel economy depends on engine and body style. The diesel 225d (especially in Gran Tourer form) can reach up to 60mpg in official tests, with real-world figures in the high-40s to mid-50s. The petrol 225i averages closer to 45mpg. The coupe is slightly more efficient than the heavier MPVs.

Check for a full BMW service history and test all electrics – especially the infotainment setup and seat adjustment on higher trims. Diesel automatics need smooth gearshifts and evidence of regular fluid changes. If considering a Gran Tourer, inspect the rear seats for wear and test all folding mechanisms. For extra peace of mind, book an independent The AA Vehicle Inspection.

Most owners report good reliability, especially with regular maintenance. The diesel engine is robust, though high mileage examples may need attention to the emissions system. As with any premium car, careful upkeep pays off and helps keep running costs down.
