I'm thinking of buying a 1 Series
am thinking of buying a bmw 1series between the ages 2010 and 2013. i dont drive loads .should i get petrol/diesel.what kinda money should i expect to pay? Thank you in advance
Our answer:
Hi Eleanor,
If you’re doing low mileage, then definitely go for petrol, and the good news is that the 114i has a sweet little 102hp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with Band B emissions and the promise of 45mpg fuel economy. Definitely go for the new-shape model of the 1 Series, which is roomier inside and much better quality, so you’re looking at spending in the region of €12-15,000.
