In Brief...
The BMW 1 Series, now in its second generation, comprises a suite of compact, executive level sports hatchbacks. Available in petrol or diesel, each vehicle in this nimble range is sure to get your pulse racing courtesy of their fierce acceleration, sharp handling and impeccable balance. The BMW 1 Series sets itself apart from other hatchbacks by incorporating rear-wheel drive and a longitudinally mounted engine. From every angle, each of the variants in the BMW 1 Series range glimmer in beauty, with their interiors modelled on their dearer bigger brothers. You can rest assured that BMW has pulled out all the stops to include as many features as possible at this modest price point, ensuring value is the order of the day. If you want to add a little extra glamour to the experience there’s also no shortage of upgrades on offer, with BMW catering for the sports-enthused driver whom might be fond of variable steering, sports suspension, high-spec brakes and a suite of other luxuries. As a competitor to the Audi A3 Sportback and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, BMW has crafted a smooth, efficient and elegant car that remains one of the few rear-wheel drive hatchbacks in the entire market.
