BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 116I 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 SS 136 EU6 ES AUTO8
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 116I 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 SS 136 EU6 ES AUTO8 is a premium small hatchback with a sporty, distinctive look. Its automatic gearbox and compact dimensions suit urban trips and commuting, while the three-door body gives it a more individual character than practical five-door alternatives.
With BMW’s rear-wheel-drive character, it feels engaging and composed, while the 136bhp petrol engine offers useful performance without being overly costly to run. ES trim provides a comfortable, well-equipped cabin, though rear-seat access is less convenient than in five-door rivals. It suits singles, couples and small households.
