Description

This 2012 BMW 1 Series 118d Sport blends engaging rear-wheel drive dynamics with everyday practicality. The responsive 2.0-litre diesel and manual gearbox deliver strong mid-range pull and a planted feel on B-roads, while the compact hatch layout makes city parking and motorway cruising equally straightforward. Sport seats and Servotronic steering sharpen driver involvement without sacrificing comfort.

Well maintained with service history, a fresh service and 12 months MOT, it presents neatly in red with 18-inch alloys and rear parking sensors. The cabin is ergonomically laid out, offering two-zone climate control and modern connectivity for a comfortable daily drive or longer trips.
