I've had the pleasure of owning this BMW 1 Series, and it's been nothing but reliable and fun to drive. It's the perfect balance of sporty and practical - smooth on the motorway, nimble around town, and still has that classic BMW driving feel. Mechanically, it's solid. The engine pulls well, gear changes are smooth, and it's never let me down. I've kept it well maintained with regular servicing and checks. Bodywork is in great condition for its age with just the usual wear you'd expect. Interior is clean and tidy - no rips or tears, just a well-looked-after cabin. It's ideal for someone looking for a dependable, stylish hatchback that still feels premium without breaking the bank. If you're after a genuine, honest example of a BMW 1 Series that's been looked after, this one's worth checking out. (My car got Cat N due to a bumper crack and passenger wing scrapes, no structural damage or engine problems or engine damage) Happy to provide pictures of damage before wing replacement. Damage has been replaced not repaired. Happy to any mechanical checks anytime prior to buying.
