Description
Some cars try very hard to be exciting. Spoilers, badges, fake vents, fireworks…
And then there’s this: the BMW 118d Sport Plus Edition — a car that doesn’t need to shout, because it knows exactly what it is. A compact, rear-wheel-drive coupé with just enough attitude to make every roundabout feel like a moment of personal greatness.
It’s the kind of car you buy when you want something sensible, economical, and properly well-built — but you still want the option of having a bit of fun on the way home.
And because it’s a Sport Plus, you get the cool bits:
M-Sport styling
Bigger wheels
Sports seats
That chunky BMW steering wheel
And, most importantly… rear-wheel-drive mischief potential baked in from the factory.
Under the bonnet sits the legendary BMW 2.0 diesel — torquey, efficient, and about as reliable as a Swiss accountant. The automatic gearbox suits it perfectly: smooth when you’re cruising, sharp when you prod it.
Inside, everything is pointed at the driver. Clear dials. Logical controls. A driving position that makes even short trips feel like you’re doing something important.
And unlike many of these that have been run on hopes and prayers, this one has a proper service history:
38,753 | 43,466 | 48,790 | 52,662 | 57,830 miles.
All the right intervals, all looked after, all ready for its next owner.
So if you want a small BMW that’s stylish without being showy, efficient without being boring, and fun without being ridiculous — this is it.
The BMW 118d Sport Plus Auto: the grown-up’s hot hatch… without the insurance bill.
