Used BMW 225
You'll find lots of BMW 225 variants available, from a dynamic coupe to a five-seater MPV (the Active Tourer) and a seven-seater MPV (the Gran Tourer). It's popular for delivering a little more performance without compromising on daily ease. In Gran Tourer form, it offers smart sliding seats and upmarket materials throughout. As a coupe, it delivers engaging handling and a powerful drive – the 225d is especially quick with its strong diesel engine. The 225 was introduced as part of the 2 Series from 2014, with updates through to 2022. It makes a combination of practicality and enjoyable driving possible. Against rivals, it feels a cut above inside and generally rides more smoothly, though it can be pricier to buy and run.
