Description

This 2016 BMW 1 Series 118i SE delivers an engaging driving experience with a brisk 1.5-litre petrol engine and a smooth manual gearbox. The chassis feels composed and responsive, making daily commutes and longer drives equally enjoyable. Steering is communicative and the car's compact proportions make it easy to place on the road while still feeling planted at motorway speeds.

Practicality is strong thanks to the versatile five-door hatch layout and 60/40 split rear seats, providing usable cargo space and comfortable seating for five. The Mineral Grey finish and well-appointed cabin give the car a refined feel, while low running costs and a modest £35 annual tax add to its appeal.
