At Integrity Automotive we're delighted to offer this 2018 BMW 1 Series 1.5 116d M Sport Shadow Edition, finished in sleek Mineral Grey with a sporty grey and black Alcantara/cloth interior. With 74,466 miles covered and a robust service history of eight services—the latest completed in December 2024 at 69,991 miles—this car has been well maintained and is ready to enjoy. The M Sport Shadow Edition represents one of the most sought-after trims in the 1 Series range. It builds on the already well-equipped M Sport with striking gloss black exterior styling, upgraded alloy wheels and darkened lights, giving it a more aggressive, premium stance. Inside, the Alcantara sports seats, M Sport touches and Harman Kardon sound system create a cabin that feels both athletic and upmarket. The BMW 1 Series has long been admired for its unique position in the premium hatchback market. Auto Express described it as "a rewarding car to drive, with accurate steering and a well-judged chassis that makes it more engaging than rivals." What Car? echoed this sentiment, noting that the 1 Series "stands out as the most fun-to-drive car in the class, while still offering strong economy and everyday usability." This balance between driving pleasure and practicality has been a consistent highlight across reviews. Powered by the efficient 1.5-litre 116d diesel engine, this model offers a blend of low running costs and relaxed performance. Drivers benefit from BMW's Drive Performance Control, allowing you to switch between driving modes for sharper responses or improved efficiency depending on the journey. With economy figures that can comfortably exceed 60mpg, it's a car that makes sense for both commuting and long-distance trips. Practicality is another area where the 1 Series excels. Despite its compact footprint, it offers comfortable seating for five, a versatile boot and the reassurance of BMW's renowned build quality. Carbuyer has praised it for being "as fun to drive as ever, with an interior that feels solid and well thought-out," making it a strong all-rounder in the family hatchback market. This particular example comes with an excellent specification, including Bluetooth hands-free with USB audio interface for seamless connectivity, cruise control with brake function for stress-free motorway driving, heated Alcantara sports seats for comfort and support, and the premium Harman Kardon loudspeaker system for an outstanding audio experience. In summary, the BMW 1 Series 116d M Sport Shadow Edition is a superb choice for those who want premium styling, strong efficiency and genuine driver enjoyment. As one reviewer put it: "The 1 Series is the driver's car of the premium hatchback class, combining efficiency, technology and handling finesse in a way rivals struggle to match." With its strong service record, desirable specification and engaging character, this example is an ideal option for anyone seeking a stylish and capable hatchback.
