The BMW 1 Series has long served as the gateway into the brand?s premium portfolio, and the 2023 F40-generation 118i Sport continues that tradition. The Sport trim lends the 118i a subtly athletic look, without the overt aggression of the M Sport. Unique front and rear bumper styling, high-gloss black exterior trim, and 17-inch alloy wheels give it a confident, clean-cut appearance. It?s a car that wears its badge with quiet pride rather than shouty bravado. Inside, the cabin is classic modern BMW?minimalist in design but rich in materials and tech. The 8.8-inch central touchscreen (upgradable to 10.25 inches) runs BMW?s intuitive iDrive system, while analogue dials or the optional digital cockpit provide crisp driver feedback. Sport seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel elevate the experience, and the practicality gains over the previous-gen rear-wheel-drive model are tangible?rear legroom and boot space (380 litres) are noticeably improved. For buyers seeking a premium hatch that balances style, efficiency, and brand prestige without tipping into excess, the 118i Sport hits a finely judged mark. Buying a Vertu Approved Vehicle comes with a wealth of benefits including 12 Months Warranty & 12 Months Roadside Assistance Cover.
