The BMW 1 Series (F20) is a rival to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Audi A3, and thanks to its rear-wheel-drive layout is one of the most enjoyable cars of its type to drive. But how does it fare as a used purchase? In this CarGurus used car review Chris Knapman considers exactly that, investigating the car's practicality, running costs and any common issues to help determine if a 1 Series is as good to own as it is to drive.

Indeed. FWD will hurt them on the long run, there's nothing like RWD, especially one so inexpensive. I own a F20 120D and it's amazing how much I've saved in diesel since I bought it, especially if I keep it in ECO mode. It also has 4 cilinders, which the newer version lacks. I fear BMW is losing their identity :(

The BMW 1-Series, F21, 3-Door Hatchback. From 2011 to 2019 had a better side profile, than the F20, 5-Door Hatchback in my opinion. In general 2-Door Coupe / 2-Door Saloon and 3-Door Hatchback Cars have a good chance of becoming future classic cars. Less so as a 4 or 5 Door Car. Its just the way it is....Will any of these RWD 1-Series BMW Cars become a classic car, in years to come ?. Time will tell.

My advise is, stay away of this brand, i have a 2016 i120 with 26,000 miles and 6 months after the warranty expired started with engine triouble, and to make a long story short, they had to replace the engine head, and to be fair after a long fight, they gave me 60% discount in parts and labour, but the dealer didn´t honor this discount and charged for the labour almost full price, and BMW did nothing about this. The cost of the repair was $2,800.00 USDThis company doesn´t really stands after their products, this experience showed me that. I will definetly don´t buy the new 1 series.

@cosminpricop921 4 жыл бұрын

this (as any other brand) actually "stand after their products" as long as the WARRANTY DID NOT EXPIRE! you said that the warranty has expired already by 6 months when the problem occured, so what the... would you want BMW (or ANY other brand) to do?? pay for your repairs? based on what, you little imbecil?

@@cosminpricop921 his point is not to buy fucking money pits you moron. Bmw have never been reliable cars they're fucking terrible. Sure if warranty is gone is gone and can't expect them to pay, but it's just sad for the guy. I'd personally never buy any German piece of crap car out of warranty. To each his own
