Summary
With 59 currently listed for sale near Dallas, TX and an average price of $14,142, 45.8% of 2016 BMW 2 Series models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 BMW 2 Series 5 / 5 stars.

Why it stands out
The 2016 BMW 2 Series stands out as a compact premium sports car that was aimed at drivers who wanted a fun driving experience and small proportions. It was part of BMW’s first-generation 2 Series, which replaced the 1 Series Coupe and 1 Series Convertible, and it kept the brand’s rear-wheel-drive character while offering an available manual transmission. That combination helped separate it from rivals such as the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, and it gave the car a more enthusiast-focused personality than many entry-level luxury alternatives.
For 2016, the 2 Series also gained some content and packaging upgrades, and the M235i convertible became available with xDrive. The model’s appeal was strengthened by its strong performance credentials and usable everyday nature, with owners praising its power, handling, and sporty feel without giving up daily drivability. Standard equipment included a 10-speaker audio system with a 6.5-inch display, dual-zone climate control, and rain-sensing wipers, while available features such as adaptive suspension, variable-ratio steering, upgraded brakes, a backup camera, and parking sensors added to its versatility.
It is not without compromises, though. The back seat is cramped, and owners also pointed to high maintenance costs and the need for premium fuel. Even so, the 2016 BMW 2 Series remains distinctive for blending compact dimensions, rear-drive dynamics, and genuine driver appeal in a way that made it feel more like a performance car than a conventional luxury coupe or convertible.

One of the best driving cars. Balanced, peppy, great on gas and has all the bells and whistles I need. Roof rails to accommodate my bike rack, ski rack, and the AWD is literally incredible in the snow. Very reliable 4 cyl and never any serious mechanical issues between 70-110k miles.

Model M235i XDrive - this was the best car I have ever driven. Its sporty, the handling and ride is so nice and firm (our previous Mercedes E350 coupe felt like driving a slipper). The seats cradle you, and felt so comfortable for someone my size (56 and average size) (the back seats are very small, but usable - slightly hard to climb into if you are older). We had the auto because Im lame and cant drive stick, but it was still so much fun to drive - 0 - 100 warranted a wooooo a lot of the time. Our model had a backup camera and sensors all around. With decent tires, is reasonable in snow if its not too deep (AWD). Pros: power, looks, seat comfort (for me). Cons: takes 91 octane gas, & a lot of it (esp. if you are enjoying the heck out of it). Small back seat. Front seats are low, so if youre old or injured, they arent fun (I hurt my back once and it was terrible getting in and out). Noisy exhaust. BMW maintenance is expensive. Husband traded it in on something completely different, and I miss it so much.

Prices have softened 5.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 326 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.
Is the 2016 BMW 2 Series a good car?
Yes — owners rate it 5/5, which points to very strong satisfaction with this model year.
The owner feedback consistently highlights performance, handling, and a sporty feel while still keeping the car usable for daily driving. That makes it a strong fit if you want a compact premium car that feels engaging without giving up everyday comfort. The overview also frames it as a small, driver-focused luxury car with rear-wheel-drive character and available manual transmission, so it suits you best if driving enjoyment matters more than maximum practicality.
With 34.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful number of attractive shopping opportunities.
Is the 2016 BMW 2 Series reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner summary also points to a car that feels dependable in the sense that it delivers the same enjoyable driving experience owners value over time, with no recurring complaints about the core driving character. The strongest reliability-related praise centers on the car being trouble-free in day-to-day use when maintained properly, especially for shoppers who value a compact premium coupe or convertible that still feels composed and usable. At the same time, the ownership picture suggests you should budget carefully, because long-term costs can rise if maintenance is deferred.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the driving experience and more about keeping up with maintenance and ownership expenses.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 BMW 2 Series?
At 54% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was cosmetic or structural. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for wear items, maintenance gaps, and signs of deferred care. Because owners mention high maintenance costs and premium-fuel requirements, condition and service history matter more than usual when you compare listings.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 BMW 2 Series?
This is a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 326 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.81% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 54.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $15,788, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 BMW 2 Series's resale value?
The current average of $15,995 sits slightly below last year's $16,981.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now, but it also means future resale gains may be limited unless you choose a well-kept example. If you plan to sell later, condition, mileage, and service records will matter a lot because buyers in this segment tend to reward clean, well-maintained cars. The model's enthusiast appeal can help support demand, but the current trend shows you should not expect rapid appreciation.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 BMW 2 Series or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 54% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.81% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2015 if:
- At $15,303, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $15,995 average.
- It emphasizes sharper handling and a more track-focused sport-luxury setup.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction, the 2016 is the better primary choice. If your top priority is saving money upfront, the 2015 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one with a strong service history and clean condition.
