BMWTouring 20 Report post Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Ive driven heaps and heaps of 1 series... i wouldnt buy a 116 though theyre pretty gutless... the smallest petrol engine you would want would be a 120i, Ideally a diesel would be the way to go, FAR superior power and economy. Once you drive a diesel one you won't want to buy a petrol. Other than that they are a great little car and awesome fun to drive on a windy road!

deeveus 81 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I've driven both the 116i and 120d the 116i was fairly underpowered as everyone else has stated, the 120d was alot more powerful and almost fun to drive - that said, that is a bloody good price for a NZ New BMW with those k's surely.

AntonyG 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2011 The 116i was fortunate not to receive Valvetronic. Generally a very reliable engine. Diesel is the way to go with the 1 series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMWTouring 20 Report post Posted October 16, 2011 Theres no such thing as a 130d, 123d is the biggest diesel.. awesome car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I'd love a go in one of those twin turbo 123d - I couldn only imagine what a 130d would be like given the should exist! It would have to be a farkin animal to say the least - the 330d is an amazing enough car. Edited October 16, 2011 by The Diesel Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a 123d twin turbo Coupe, and I'd agree about pursuing the diesel option. 150kw and torque to burn. It's a 2010, with a fair bit of "go faster/stop faster" fluff added, but we found the diesel's a lot more responsive than the similar petrol ones. I do 700km's a week in it, and it hasn't put a foot wrong so far. However, we are BMW diesel fan's so that could be my bias coming through. With 3 petrol and 2 diesel BMW's in the fold, I know what is cheaper to run, and we do huge mileages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
