The model

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.

Like the M135i, the 128ti is effectively its own trim. As standard, it gets a bespoke body-kit, black rather than chrome exterior trim, red interior accents, an M Sport steering wheel and a plethora of go-faster goodies such as a limited-slip differential, beefier brakes and tweaked suspension.
