Alright, gather around. This isn’t just another BMW; this is the 118d Sport Euro 6, the diesel hatchback that manages to look sensible while secretly plotting to overtake everything in the outside lane. Practical? Yes. Boring? Not in the slightest. Let’s talk numbers. Real-world drivers see around 38–40 mpg combined, but on a good day with the wind behind you, the official figures creep up to a smug 53–57 mpg. Insurance? Around Group 20, which means it won’t drain your bank account faster than you can say “run-flat tyres.” ULEZ compliant? Absolutely. That Euro 6 badge means you can glide into London or any low-emission zone without HM Government holding out its hand. And the kit list is far from bare: Sport seats that hug you like an overly affectionate Labrador Dual-zone climate control so you and your passenger can argue about temperatures in comfort Cruise control for eating up motorway miles without eating up your knees 17-inch alloys that make it look far more expensive than it is BMW’s iDrive infotainment system, which actually works instead of just looking impressive Rear parking sensors so you don’t scuff that tidy bumper Automatic lights and wipers, Bluetooth connectivity, and the sort of German ergonomics that make you wonder why other manufacturers bother Behind the wheel, it’s all rear-wheel-drive poise and diesel torque. The 2.0-litre lump pulls like a small freight train and cruises like it’s got somewhere important to be. It’s the thinking person’s hatchback — sharp to drive, frugal to run, classy to own, and thanks to that Sport trim, just a bit cocky.
