Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 116I 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 SS 136 EU5 ES BUSINESS MEDIA 6SPD is a premium five-door hatchback, sitting between mainstream compact cars and larger executive models in the UK used-car market. It pairs everyday practicality with the more upmarket feel associated with BMW.
It suits commuters, couples and families seeking a refined daily car, with five doors making rear-seat access and shopping trips easier than in a coupé. The ES Business Media trim adds useful in-car convenience, while the 1.6-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual are aimed at drivers who want responsive, engaging journeys rather than a basic runabout.
