Yo my Pop's owned this car for years until finally he upgraded & let me have his old BMW 128i. My mates love it so much that they keep asking for rides. It really is a Pocket Rocket!!

Such a fun car to drive
Nov 07, 2023

I love my 1 series, they do not make them anymore so I do not plan on selling mine anytime soon. It handles like a dream, is good on gas and has a very good and sold feeling to all the components.

Can't go wrong with BMW
Jan 20, 2024

This car is the ultimate car minus being a super car that gives you the best handling, power, comfort and plenty of room. The roomy trunk is what I love most because I plant on going lots of business trips with this car & I need all the room I can get.
