BMW 218i Active Tourer 2015 from Japan: European compact van from auction
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is a compact van of BMW: a short five-door body with a high roof and a higher seating position than a regular hatchback. Such cars were sold new in Japan, so used Active Tourers end up at Japanese auctions along with an auction sheet and a condition assessment, and a European compact van can be chosen according to the same rules as Japanese cars.
Body and version
The name Active Tourer describes the body, not the engine, so the version is determined by the designation and documents of a particular car. The 2015 version of the 218i is petrol and front-wheel drive, and the car in question has a 1.5-liter engine, 36,000 km on the odometer and an auction score of 4.5 points; generations and versions of the model are collected in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer catalog.
How to read a rating of 4.5
A score of 4.5 is a high condition score for a used car, but this is an auction score, not a guarantee: what exactly is marked on the specimen can be seen from the body scheme and the comments of the auction sheet, and the actual condition is confirmed by inspection. A low mileage for 2015 is also checked against the history of the car, and not taken on faith. How to read the auction sheet, the decryption of the auction sheet is discussed in the material.
On April 24, 2026, for a 2015 BMW 218i Active Tourer with a mileage of 36,000 km and a rating of 4.5, the total in Vladivostok was 920,000 rubles. For another car, an up-to-date calculation is needed.
