BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 120D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 BLUEPERFORMANCE DPF SS 184 EU6 SE BUSINESS MEDIA AUTO8
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 120D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 BLUEPERFORMANCE DPF SS 184 EU6 SE BUSINESS MEDIA AUTO8 is a premium, three-door diesel hatchback, a compact alternative to larger family cars, aimed at buyers wanting sharper driving manners and a smart badge. Its automatic gearbox and SE Business Media trim make it appealing for regular journeys.
The 184bhp engine gives brisk performance while remaining suited to motorway commuting; Euro 6 status may help when checking local clean-air rules. The three-door layout is less convenient for frequent rear-seat access than a five-door rival, but suits singles, couples or small households. It feels more driver-focused than many mainstream hatchbacks, competing with premium versions of the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, while the Volkswagen Golf is a strong practical alternative.
