Description
This is a BMW 1 Series 116i Sport in Jet Black. It's the 3-door version, which in my opinion looks much better than the 5-door, especially with the frameless windows giving it a more sleek and clean look.
It has a 1.6L turbocharged engine with rear wheel drive, making it a fun and engaging car to drive while still being practical with a large boot. The rear seats fold down flat so you can transport big items. It also comes with keyless push start, Bluetooth for phone calls and AUX connectivity, as well as front and rear parking sensors with a display that shows how close you are to obstacles. The car has multiple driving modes including Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport+.
The car drives smoothly through all gears and feels solid on the road. It's also relatively cheap to insure and good on fuel for a BMW.
The bodywork is good for its age, with a couple of small scratches, some stone chips on the front bumper, and the wheels showing their age (reflected in the price), but overall it still looks great. The interior is in very good condition, with black fabric seats with red stitching and no stains or damage. The floor mats are new and hardly used, I don't think the rears have ever been stood on.
I have both keys.
I've had a good amount of work done on the car ready for the new owner, including a full health check at my local garage and a wheel alignment. The old bushings and tired ball joints have been replaced, which is why the alignment was done. The aux belt has also been refreshed and a new water pump pulley fitted as these items were starting to age.
The garage health report confirms they have done a visual check under the bonnet and under the car, there are no warning lights, all lights and wipers are working, the air conditioning works, oil and coolant levels are good, brake fluid has been checked, tyres all have good tread, and the brakes, underside and exhaust system have all been checked and are in good condition.
Overall, this is a well-maintained and honest car that's ready to be driven and enjoyed.
There was a recall warning for this car a while ago, I have the paper work and confirmation for this, BMW checked the car and said the airbags in this car are not affected by the recall.
