A used BMW 1 Series car for sale @ Northumbria Cars in North East,

This stunning white BMW 1 Series 1.5 116D Sport 5dr 114BHP is now available here at Northumbria cars. With features including The cliche 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' was probably created for the BMW 1 Series Sports Hatch. Its long bonnet and rounded rear are challenging to the eye, but its undoubted sales success clearly proves that buyers really don't mind how the 1 Series looks – it's how it drives, the overall quality, and the equity of the badge that really matter. Like many premium manufacturers, BMW boasts an enviable safety record, as evidenced by the 1 Series Sports Hatch's five-star rating when it was crash-tested by Euro NCAP back in 2012. Not only is it particularly strong, it's packed with safety-related kit including stability software, Dynamic Traction Control with Brake Control (allowing individual wheels to be slowed to maximise traction as well as safety), automatic lights and wipers, LED rear lights and foglamps. Sport models also boast standard LED headlights and 188 BHP. When it comes to providing one of the best driving positions in this corner of the market, the BMW 1 Series Sports Hatch has the competition licked. There's an excellent range of adjustment for both the steering wheel and the seat – which can be set sportily low. One particular highlight of the cabin is the iDrive system – a rotary dial surrounded by buttons to navigate the multimedia system. Many rivals have launched similar systems since BMW debuted its original back in 2002, but with frequent honing it remains the most intuitive. Although it's tuned for efficiency rather than performance, the 118d is sprightly enough to make quick progress through traffic, delivering a suitable dose of urgency to the rear wheels to make safe overtaking manoeuvres. You're required to work the slick six-speed manual gearbox to make the best progress though, but do so and it'll propel the 118d Sport to 62mph from standstill in a not-too-shabby 8.4 seconds.
