Will be selling my 1 series soon as I'm buying a bigger car. I cannot fault this car it's been absolutely bulletproof, I've owned it for 5 years now. Mot is due in October, last mot passed with no advisories. It has full service history, part bmw but mostly independents. When I first brought the car it had a new timing chain fitted (not sure when) Totally free to tax. lower insurance group. I've just had new front pads and discs replaced.
