Description
Selling my lovely 1 series after a year for something smaller. It's already small but I live in a very tight area and need something like a Smart car, really.
You are welcome to test drive but I'll ask for proof of insurance and a copy of your driver's licence.
This car is a pleasure to drive. I bought this from BMW themselves in March 2025. In the year I've owned it, I've done approx 1,500 miles. Very occasional, light, social usage. I do not smoke or vape and no pets were brought into the car. It was kept very well and has a bunch of great features. My favourites include Apple Carplay; speed limiter and cruise control; plenty of compartments and USB C and USB A charging ports.
The car is smooth and quiet. It feels safe, I would say. It has good power for when you need it. It has Sport, Eco and Regular modes. braking is top notch and acceleration is solid. This would be a nice car for a young family or for getaways, as it is comfy and has decent space. The boot in particular, is very roomy, with a hidden compartment underneath too.
Full disclosure:
- Recent MOT which passed subject to one advisory regarding the rear disc brakes, which are slightly scratched apparently. The mechanic at Halfords said there could be up to 2,000 miles left on them, hence the MOT said it's something to watch. But that's all.
- The car is free of any finance.
- No major accidents. I have had three incidents where people scraped my rear bumper while the car was parked (this is part of the reason I want a smaller car). These incidents left scratches which were re-painted.
- small dents on passenger's door (driver's side) - these are about the size of a pound coin and are pictured. Generally people don't notice this unless you point it out.
- The car was broken into by a thief who stole nothing but the boot cover (!). They smashed the rear windscreen, which I replaced. I also replaced the boot cover with an original BMW one. There are some slight marks on the wing at the rear from when I covered the smashed window using gaffer tape. I tried to remove them but could not. they are pictured.
- Had a full service history up to March 2025. I decided to sell literally at anniversary of my purchase haven't got round to doing it annual service yet.
Engine never gave me any trouble at all. Was a real pleasure to drive.
Cheers! :)
