BMW 1 Series (2011-2019) for sale near Colchester

Love my 1 series sport. Fairly nippy and a lovely smooth drive. Rear parking sensors are a god send. Good on diesel, especially on long motorway journeys. Only thing missing is heated front seats. I know you can get them in some models but would be nice to have as standard when your paying top dollar. Otherwise would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice smooth drive with good MPG.

great car, quite responsive engine a diesel with this horse power. Good feel from steering. Good handling, goes just were you want it as quick as you want . solid well built car with its own style.

Great characterful engine which is economical too! Handles well as a bonus.

The latest 1 series is certainly a good competent car. Having picked up an M135i yesterday to replace a three year old 125i the differences are: More noise in the 135 and particularly road roar. A feeling that the materials are all lighter and slightly less durable. The tech has certainly jumped forwards but the switchgear has not. After day one of ownership I would say it’s different for sure, A better car? That depends what you cherish. The new model is very - very fast in 135 spec, but the overall “feel”, the previous car was frankly ahead. The piped engine sound in the new 135 is, well err, embarrassing. But you can opt to turn it off. I guess the BMW engineers realised it needed the ‘off’ option!

Beautiful car, 3 door 118d M Sport Shadow Edition. Smooth and comfortable drive, 2.0 litre 148bhp and manual 6 speed perfect combination providing great mpg.
