The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 120I 2DR COUPE 2.0 170 EU5 M SPORT AUTO6 is a compact, premium two-door coupe rather than a family hatchback. It brings BMW styling and an automatic petrol engine to the UK’s small-coupe market, offering a sportier, more distinctive alternative to ordinary runabouts. mycarcheck.com has recorded 168 look-ups covering 67 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this model. Checked examples averaged £3,600 in private-sale value and 76,000 miles, with around 5,000 miles driven annually. The average was nearly four previous keepers, so buyers should check each car’s history and condition carefully. Its M Sport trim gives the coupe a purposeful look, while the 170-horsepower 2.0-litre petrol and six-speed automatic suit relaxed commuting and weekend drives. It best fits singles or couples wanting comfort and style; rear-seat and boot space are less family-friendly. Against an Audi A3, it stands out for its engaging, premium feel.
