BMW 1 SERIES (2004-07) 116I 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 115 ES
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2004-07) 116I 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 115 ES is a five-door, petrol-powered premium compact hatchback, aimed at buyers wanting BMW badge appeal in a practical, city-friendly size. It sits among alternatives such as the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3, offering a more upmarket feel than many mainstream small family cars.
Its five doors and manageable footprint suit commuting, shopping and occasional family duties, though rear space and boot capacity trail larger hatchbacks. The 116i ES suits drivers wanting a refined-feeling runabout with a distinctive, engaging character, rather than simply the cheapest small car to run.
