BMW 1 Series (2011-2019) Pros and Cons

Pros Cons
Fantastic rear-wheel-drive handling balance Not very roomy in the back
Classy and well-built cabin Timing chain wear can lead to a big bill
The ED diesel is very efficient Three-door models are less practical and harder to sell


Quick Summary

The BMW 1 Series (2011-2019), the second-generation model, is a premium family hatchback that delivers an engaging driving experience with its unique rear-wheel-drive layout. It offers the prestige of the BMW badge alongside practical features including a 360-litre boot and well-appointed interior. Whilst the rear quarters are tight and access is restricted through narrow door apertures, the front seating is spacious and the cabin feels classy with intelligent controls and high-quality materials. The low driving position is sporty, though it can make judging the car's nose more difficult than in some rivals.

The 1 Series boasts a wide range of engines, from an economical 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol producing 107bhp to a potent 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder with 335bhp, alongside efficient diesel options. The 116d ED diesel achieves around 60mpg in real-world driving, whilst petrol variants like the 116i manage approximately 50mpg. Running costs are reasonable, with condition-based servicing and timing chains that theoretically last the car's lifetime, though some engines have experienced timing chain issues. As a used car, the 1 Series represents an upmarket choice for those prioritising driving enjoyment and aspirational appeal over maximum space.

Best for: Drivers seeking premium badge appeal, engaging handling, and a more responsive driving experience; buyers who value classy interiors and efficient engines; those willing to pay more for driving enjoyment.

Not ideal for: Families needing maximum rear-seat space or easy child-seat access; buyers concerned about potential timing chain problems; those prioritising practicality over driving dynamics.

BMW 1 Series4/54.4/538.7%4.4/5

Mercedes-Benz A-Class3/54.5/535.0%4.2/5
Volkswagen Golf4/54.7/532.3%4.4/5


The Verdict

You should buy the 1 Series if: You prioritise engaging handling and premium badge appeal, seek a classy and well-built cabin, or value efficient engines and responsive driving over maximum practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum rear-seat space, require easy child-seat access, are concerned about timing chain issues, or prioritise practicality over driving dynamics.

Competitive Position: The BMW 1 Series (2011-2019) stands out in the premium hatchback segment for its unique rear-wheel-drive handling and aspirational appeal. Whilst the Audi A3 offers superior user ratings and the Volkswagen Golf provides better practicality, the 1 Series delivers a more engaging and responsive driving experience. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class lags slightly in expert ratings. The 1 Series is ideal for buyers willing to accept tighter rear quarters in exchange for premium feel, efficient engines, and genuinely entertaining driving dynamics. Key to ownership is selecting a well-serviced example to avoid timing chain complications.

Looks good and works well in general. The scoring is inconsistent and the sort order is not always correct with cars outside of the filter sometimes returned.

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.

Excellent features and great condition, everything was like new, previous owners have taken great care both, inside and out. I have looked at several other 1 series and this one knocks them out of the water. The car is just missing the weather!!

The car pricing is average to its competitors, with the driving experience, being comfortable and the car grips and moves really well, ride height and comfort is really good, it is a BMW after-all, plenty of storage space and functions available, the car price is spot on. I have all available packages on my variant 116D M Sport Pro, the only two extras i didnt have installed were the towbar and panoramic roof. The car features and used daily by myself are the HUD (heads up display) which is superb, and easy, to use, heated steering wheel and heated seats are easy and fast reacting, and just the right temperature. Electric memory seats work really well with forward/backward, upward/downward support along with back lumber support and leg support, all easily adjustable and has profile saving available. Cruise control and media function buttons on the steering wheel are really easy and simple to use, the response from the buttons in general is quick and shows no delay. The infotainment screen is as big as you could possibly need it, its responsive and has a circular dial scroll and multiple buttons to easily navigate, the menu is simple to use ,understand and get around. Theres buttons for simple and easy temperature control along with multiple auto control features. Door pocket storage is really good and two cup holders with wireless charging is really well manufactured with plenty of space. I dont know if its possible for a 1 series to have, but this car would benefit from heated mirrors and next lane control assistance. It has lane control which works really well and easily adjustable for whats in front of you. Automatic boot opening feature is really responsive and works great, multiple ways to use this feature whether its by key press, button by drivers seat, or swiping your foot under the rear bumper, with button for auto closing and you can set up how much to open the door for when in tight spaces. The car comes with some ambient lighting internally which works great and has different functions, easy to adjust, but would benefit with a full scale trim lighting rather than the current set up of half dash board and doors only.
