Question 1

Which BMW 1 Series generation should I buy?

Accepted Answer

The F20 (2011–2019) suits buyers who want rear-wheel drive, ideally after its 2015 update brought newer three- and four-cylinder engines. The F40 (2019–2024) drives its front wheels but has more room in the back and in the boot.

Question 2

What are the known problems of the BMW 1 Series?

Accepted Answer

The N47 diesel fitted from 2007 to 2015 can suffer timing-chain wear, and its chain sits at the gearbox end, so the repair is costly: listen for a rattle when cold. The 1.6-litre N13 petrol of the early F20 has had timing-chain trouble too.

Question 3

How much road tax does a BMW 1 Series pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

For a car first registered from 2001, its CO₂ figure × 0.6 for petrol or 0.9 for diesel × a band factor that rises with emissions. A frugal 116d pays little, while an M135i or M140i pays several times more.

Question 4

Which versions does the new BMW 1 Series come in?

Accepted Answer

The fourth generation sells as the 116, 120, 123 xDrive and M135 xDrive petrol, from 122 to 300 PS, and the 118d and 120d diesel, all with an automatic gearbox. Only the 123 and M135 have all-wheel drive.
