Question 1

Which engines does the new BMW 1 Series have?

Accepted Answer

Petrol: the 116 with 122 PS and the 120 with 170 PS, both 1.5 three-cylinders, and the 2.0 four-cylinder 123 xDrive with 218 PS and M135 xDrive with 300 PS. Diesel: the 118d with 150 PS and the 120d with 163 PS. All are automatic.

Question 2

Is there a four-wheel-drive BMW 1 Series?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 123 xDrive and the M135 xDrive drive all four wheels. The 116, 120, 118d and 120d are front-wheel drive.

Question 3

Petrol or diesel: which BMW 1 Series suits the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

Petrol suits most drivers: it pays no fuel surcharge in the quarterly MRB, and its first APK comes at four years rather than three. The 118d and 120d make sense at a high annual mileage, but pay a diesel surcharge on both the BPM and the MRB.

Question 4

Should I buy a new or a used BMW 1 Series?

Accepted Answer

A new one brings the full factory warranty and the current generation, with the BPM already in its price. A used one on Dutch plates pays no BPM again and has already taken its steepest years of depreciation.
