The BMW 1 SERIES 3DR SPORTS HATCH (2015-18) 118I 3DR SPORTS HATCH 1.5 SS 136 EU6 SE NAV AUTO8 is a premium three-door hatchback with an upmarket feel. In the UK, it competes with the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, offering a compact alternative to larger family cars. mycarcheck.com has recorded just three checks, covering three different VINs, so figures are a small snapshot rather than a firm picture of every car. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £9,500, 52,000 miles, around 5,000 miles a year and one previous keeper. It suits commuters, couples and first-time premium-car buyers seeking easy town driving and comfort on longer trips. Navigation, an automatic gearbox and its 1.5-litre petrol engine make the 118i an appealing everyday choice. Its sporty shape and polished cabin feel special, while dimensions help around town. Rear-seat access is less convenient than in five-door rivals, so consider your passengers.
