The model

Read full review

In the ultra-competitive arena of the premium family car, the BMW 1 Series is right up there, but not the best –that's the Audi A3. It delivers a good blend of driver appeal with decent ride comfort, along with fine practicality, but its main strengths are a top-notch interior and a brilliant infotainment system.

The trim

See full equipment

Sport trim adds sports seats and exterior styling tweaks, including 17in wheels, as well as dual-zone climate control. We’d go to M Sport if you can, though.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 120d is the most powerful diesel 1 Series you can buy and comes with an automatic gearbox as standard and is available with BMW’s four-wheel drive system (xDrive). It can hit 62mph from a standstill in a little as 7.0sec.
