The 1 you want

May 9, 2008

ENGINE 265bhp in-line six-cylinder engine sounds magnificent at any speed

INTERIOR Cabin quality is up BMW's high standards and reasonably roomy

BOOT Well-designed rear end allows for a decently sized boot

Don’t let the ‘1’ in the name fool you. The 130i is pitched at the upper end of the hatchback buying segment, is impressively quick and made to be a real sports car rather than a fashion accessory. It’s likely to cost a lot of money too, more than some of the 3-Series BMWs.
