Overview
BMW’s new 2012 1 Series: cheaper, yes, the entry point to the range is nearly five percent less than the car it replaces, and it’s better – what else would you expect it to be?
BMW rarely gets things wrong, and it hasn’t gotten the new 1 Series wrong. Petrol or diesel, this is a car that any keen driver will enjoy.
And while it might sit at the base of BMW’s range of sporting cars, there is no sense that the compact 1 Series is built to a long list of compromises, nor built to a price.
Like its bigger brothers, it feels every bit the premium package.
