228i VINs decoded with it

The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.

The 2.0L 4-cyl 228i: common questions

Which 228i years have the 2.0L 4-cyl?

2014–2025 — 8 model years in our VIN decode, across 20 factory configurations and 31,609 VINs.

What does a 2.0L 4-cyl 228i cost?

$15,843 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
