BMW 1 Series (2004 - 2011)
123d SE 3dr Auto Hatchback
A WOLF in sheeps clothing!
The car doesnt look like much (especally the hatchback) but this car is FAST!
What an amazing engine!! one of the best i've ever driven! endless amounts of tourque from the 2.0 twin turbo and the auto box makes it a breeze to drive. it'll blitz or keep up with pretty much anything on a british road and turns into a comfortable and quiet cruiser when you need it to be, I can get 40+ mpg from it even when im driving like a madman.
Inside the cabin its a typical BMW not too much clutter and everything neatly laid out where it should be.
seats are comfortable, (especially if you get the M sport version)
my only downsides are although the handling is super sharp, the steering is a little heavy especally if your used to electric power steering that others provide, but you quickly get used to it and once you do it feels great especially on motorways. Also I have the business radio which doesnt have bluetooth (yet there are bluetooth controls on the steering wheel) go for a model with the bmw professional radio if you can.
aside from that, all i have to say is what a car! if you're gettin an 04 - 11 plate 1 series I wouldn't look at anything else but the 123d.
