Why buy a used BMW 1 Series?
The cheapest and easiest to park BMW is a top choice if you’re after a premium-feeling hatchback. Lower-powered engines are very efficient and affordable to run, or there are several high-performance options that take the daily commute to the next level. You’ll typically find big screens, comfy sports seats and much of the technology from larger and more expensive BMW models.
Popular BMW 1 Series trims for sale at Motorpoint
BMW’s M Sport trim is a popular choice with 1 Series buyers, giving the car a sporty look that suits its driving experience. Beneath that are SE and Sport trims, which are still well kitted out. Above M Sport, you get to the performance models: the fun 128ti and the ferociously fast M135i.
Owning a used BMW 1 Series
The BMW 1 Series gives you the feel of a premium car without the running costs of one. The regular petrol engines return over 45mpg, while diesel versions get close to 60mpg on a long run. For most models, insurance and road tax is perfectly reasonable. The 1 Series feels well built and should be utterly reliable, although an extended warranty can give you additional peace of mind.
