BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116D 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 DPF 116 SE DYNAMIC 6SPD
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116D 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 DPF 116 SE DYNAMIC 6SPD is a premium compact family hatchback: smaller than a typical family car, but more upmarket than many mainstream rivals. Five doors make it practical, while its rear-wheel-drive layout gives it a distinctive, sporty character and on-road appeal.
That makes this 116d a sensible choice for commuters and households seeking a comfortable everyday car with a premium badge. The diesel engine is suited to regular longer journeys, and the SE Dynamic trim brings a well-equipped feel. Its composed ride and engaging handling distinguish it from many front-wheel-drive hatchbacks.
