I've had this BMW 1 Series with M Sport upgrades for 18 months and it's never missed a beat. The body work looks well for a car of it's age, with some slight stone chips and imperfections, barely noticeable dints and scratches. Front wing is a little scabby on the arch and the paint is not the best on the front bumper as shown in the photo. The car starts first time every time and has an M47 engine so there are no timing chain issues unlike the N series. The gear box struggles to clear the gear when first starting up but this is resolved by leaving the car in gear when parked - it's been like this since before I bought it and has never got worse or caused an issue. All in all a fairly tidy, presentable, cheap runabout.
