Question 1

Which automatic gearbox does a used BMW 1 Series have?

Accepted Answer

The E87 used a six-speed torque-converter automatic and the F20 an eight-speed Steptronic. On the F40, the 116d and 118i have a seven-speed dual-clutch, while the 118d, 120d and M135i xDrive keep the eight-speed Steptronic.

Question 2

What should I check on an automatic BMW 1 Series?

Accepted Answer

That it shifts smoothly from cold and when manoeuvring, and whether the gearbox oil has ever been changed, even though BMW calls it lifetime fill. On a dual-clutch car, jerking at walking pace can point to clutch wear.

Question 3

Does an automatic BMW 1 Series pay more road tax in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Only if its official CO₂ figure is higher, as the road tax follows the CO₂ figure and the fuel alone. Check the figure on the registration certificate rather than assuming the gearbox changes it.

Question 4

Is the new BMW 1 Series only available as an automatic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every version of the fourth generation, from the 116 to the M135 xDrive and the 118d and 120d diesels, comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
