The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 120D 2DR COUPE 2.0 DPF 177 EU5 EXCLUSIVE EDITION AUTO6 is a compact premium two-door coupe: sleeker and more distinctive than a conventional family hatchback, but still practical for everyday driving. It suits commuters, couples and drivers wanting BMW style and a more engaging feel without moving to a larger car. With a 177-horsepower diesel engine and six-speed automatic, this 120d offers strong, relaxed cruising and useful fuel economy, making it well suited to longer journeys as well as city-to-work trips. Its tidy coupe shape and premium cabin help it stand apart from rivals such as the Audi A3, while its rear-wheel-drive character is a familiar BMW draw. Mycarcheck.com records 60 checks across 15 VINs; average figures are £3,900, 84,000 miles, 3,000 miles annually and almost three previous keepers.
