Buy New BMW 1 Series at discounted prices from franchised BMW dealerships

A BMW 1 Series will cost more than most of its competitors, but through the years BMW has developed a loyal following that are willing to pay a little extra for the honor of sporting the BMW badge. The car’s residual values should remain high, and maintenance should be fairly routine, but repairs can be costly. The car’s engine(s) are economical and reliable.

The BMW 1 Series is not a spacious car. The cars large transmission tunnel sacrificed cabin space in return for a superior driving experience. Buyers who prefer space should opt for a more spacious front wheel drive vehicle.

The BMW 1 Series controls and dials are very striking and have been efficiently and practically placed. The controls are slightly angled toward the driver to provide a clear view. The angle is so slight that most passengers won’t even notice. The car’s starter button was borrowed from the Z8 super-convertible.

Front seat passengers should have an adequate amount of room, but rear passenger space is limited. Headroom is good in the rear but legroom is less than sufficient. The car comes standard with three rear seatbelts but it is not likely that three people will fit in the back.

The BMW 1 Series is a five door car making access and egress a simple process. Front access is a bit easier than rear access due to the unique shape of the rear doors. Boot access is adequate but the boot lip is high and narrow.

Parking the 1 Series can be challenging due to limited rear visibility, it is highly recommended that rear parking sensors be selected from the list of options. Front sensors won’t be necessary though because forward visibility is excellent. Other than rear visibility, the 1 Series is a fairly simple car to park.
