In their own words

Having never owned a BMW before, we decided to take the plunge with the new BMW 1 M-Sport 118 petrol and what a pleasant surprise we’ve had from how the car drives to how spacious the interior is for a smaller car and the quality of materials used in the cabin. The car can very easily fit 2 adults and a child in the rear which has resulted in a slight loss of a boot of space, but saying this we can fit a folded adults wheelchair in the boot thanks to the split height floor. The car its self comes very well equipped as stand due to being the M-Sport model. But be warned the price can very easily shoot up when adding all the various extras, whether its as a package or as individual items. The car can certainly get down the road when you want it to especially how instant the power is delivered from the help of the turbo but you’ll soon hit the top of the power range. So overall the only gripe we can say about our BMW 1 is that we feel there is a bit more power that could’ve been pulled from the engine.
