- BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A BMW 1 SERIES FROM OSV: bit.ly/3dUqUUC
The third generation 1 Series looks to establish itself as the premium hatch of choice in a hotly-contested sector. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Market and Model
Prices open at just under £25,000 and this time, there's only a single five-door body style. For the 118d diesel variant most will want, think just under £27,000. The top M135i xDrive flagship is priced from just under £36,500 and gets its own specific trim package. For most other variants, you'll choose between the brand's familiar 'SE', 'Sport' and 'M Sport' designations.
As you'd hope given the premium pricing, even the base 'SE' comes with plenty - 16-inch light-alloy wheels for instance. But you'll probably want to upgrade yourself at least to a mid-range 'Sport' model, recognisable by its high-gloss black air inlets and chrome-framed front kidney grille. The 'M Sport' versions feature aerodynamic body styling as well as satin aluminium struts in the kidney grille whilst at this level in the range, the seat upholstery is in Dakota leather with contrast stitching. Across the range, infotainment technology has been boosted by the adoption of the brand's "Hey BMW' 'Intelligent Personal Assistant' which will allow you to operate many of the car's major functions by merely speaking a command. A Head-up display is now optional and extra camera safety kit includes 'Collision & Pedestrian Warning with City Braking' and 'Lane Departure warning' with steering impulse.
Cost of Ownership
The engine changes have been virtually all about improving efficiency. As a result, the volume 118d diesel can return up to 60.1mpg on the WLTP cycle and up to 108g/km of NEDC-rated CO2. For the three cylinder 116d diesel, the figures are up to 61.4mpg and 100g/km. And for the 120d xDrive, you're looking at up to 51.4mpg and up to 117g/km. As for petrol power, well the base three cylinder 118i manages up to 47.1mpg and up to 114g/km, while the top M135i xDrive hot hatch delivers up to 35.3mpg and up to 155g/km.
Specify auto transmission and this car can be particularly efficient thanks to intelligent connectivity that enables the two auto gearboxes to adapt their shift strategy according to the planned route and driving situation. If the BMW 1 Series is equipped with Active Cruise Control, both transmissions will factor in the data from this system and the standard Navigation, to avoid unnecessary gear changes in a quick succession of bends. Across the range, efficiency is also aided by coasting and Auto Start Stop functions that take their cue from the data supplied by the navigation system, the front-mounted camera and the sensors for the optional driving assistance systems. The coasting function de-couples the powertrain from the transmission at cruising speeds when the car is running in either its 'Comfort' or 'ECO PRO' driving modes.
Summary
We can't help feeling a little disappointed that BMW's MK3 1 Series has abandoned its unique rear-driven selling point. But at the same time, we can't help being impressed by the way that the Munich maker has managed to retain so much of this car's eager, dynamic character, despite the fundamental engineering changes visited upon it.
Sales will also be boosted by the fact that this is the first 1 Series with really sleek looks, proper rear passenger space and a decent boot. And it's far better prepared than its predecessor in terms of media connectivity and camera-driven safety provision. About to choose a Mercedes A-Class or an Audi A3? You really ought to try one of these too. You might be surprised just how much you like it.

After 3 months delayed ,tomorrow morning I will pick up my new bebe
We hope you enjoy your new car, Grace! 🚗
I'm still waiting too, just curious when did you order approximately?
I actually love the design of this car with m sport trim
Ive deleted my previous comment and had another look at this car. In all honesty, progress has been made of which we all have to get used to, from rear wheel drive to front being the main point. The twin power turbo makes for smooth progress on the three cylinder, which is not usually the case in other cars so its an engine of choice for me if wanting to avoid diesels and hybrids, both of which have their own set of problems.
From rear to front-wheel drive? If you are buying this price range of car, mostly you are using it from home to office, sometimes weekend getaway. So comfort should be the first thing that comes in mind. One time I'm trying out the M3, the salesperson tried to tell me it reaches 120 in a certain sec, "yes, then you have a fine ticket coming in few weeks." in Australia, the most urban street is 40-60 limit, highway? 100 usually.
Love this model.
Wasn’t sure whether to buy a 2012 to 2014 ish bmw 1 series mk2.
Hi Josh, if you're thinking about getting a BMW 1 Series our team would be happy to help with this 👍📞 www.osv.ltd.uk/hello-youtube/
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply im more on about reliability etc, i hear some things but I believe these issues are with the E80 series not the F20/21 series as such
Get a 2015 second facelift 118i or 116d manual. BY FAR the best C segment car ever built
Yes but only in xdrive
If anyone here can every get over the notion that German Badges trump all others, it must be recognised that Korean & Japanese cars have close the gap significantly, & in many cases, are actually better on a 'fit for purpose' measure.
Lexus for example?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply Yes. Genesis seeks to rise like Lexus, but realistically, zee German brands will always trump most others in the 'rich, old money, & would be signalling stakes'.
Unreliable car, i will go for Japanese
Japanese best, I have Suzuki Swift SZT boosterjet, feels like it will last for a long time. Hard plastics inside, hard wearing, just the job.
Is this in England
this is this is
It is indeed 👍
4:38 Who else realised that there are over 11,000 unread messages on the phone😄
What can we say...he's a busy man! 😅
i think the new seat leon fr take this all mini cars on the new generation more sporty more details and more little cost and the new leon style is like porshe
At least the rear is nice.
😏
why does it remind me of an X1?
If you have the money, by all means, you won't be disappointed. But be aware that in purely bang for buck terms, it is a dismal proposition.
This is a terrible update. All the unique selling points are gone.
Worse engines, front wheel drive, cheaper gearboxes (ZF gone, now Aisling). It's basically a Mini in a heavy frock.
Rest in peace, BMW 1-series.
Looks like a van
Ok show us the van..I was disappointed by the design having previously owned a 35i but had a hire car last week, and it drives very well and it’s fit and finish are first rate, so convert
@@alanwayte1688pretty sure it will grow on me too!
Yes, very nice car ..
Looks like a minivan
The unspeakably ugly grille puts me off, along with the image. And no, I don't mean the image BMW promote... Purely incidentally, a friend of mine (has his own business etc) has bought new BMW's for 25+ years. I have lost count of the number of times he has had to return the cars to the dealer to get problems sorted. He's had complete new engines, new gearboxes, suspension components and god knows what else. He still resolutely stands by them, and continues to buy them. In contrast I rarely buy new, preferring "bread and butter" cars which are one to two years old - Golfs, Focuses etc. Not once in over 30+ years have I needed engines or gearboxes replacing. Maybe it's his driving? But living not a million miles from an M6 junction, I do see rather a lot of Range Rovers, Mercs and BMW's go past on the back of recovery trucks. Not seen many Toyotas, Kias or Hyundais though....
