Engine: 1.5 L 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol (≈1,498 cc) for the F40 generation of the 1 Series.
Power / Torque: ~136 hp and ~220 Nm (varies by market/spec).
0-100 km/h Sprint: Around 8–9 seconds, depending on variant.
Dimensions: Length ~4,319 mm, Width ~1,799 mm, Height ~1,434 mm (for the hatch version).
Fuel consumption: Manufacturer combined figure in some markets ~5.9 L/100 km for the 1.5 L version.
Typical features (depending on spec): Sport-hatch body style, BMW Live Cockpit/digital display, options for M Sport trim (wheels, interior paddings), modern infotainment & driver assist features. Owing to global spec sheets, features vary by region.
Premium brand & sporty feel: The BMW badge plus the 1 Series’ dynamic handling give it a “premium compact” feel — good if you like driving.
Modern engine / drivetrain: A small turbo 1.5 L gives a decent balance of performance & efficiency, as compared to some older larger-engine cars.
Good value in used/import market: With used/“recon” units priced in the RM 140k+ range, it offers an entry into BMW ownership for less than many newer luxury models.
Upside of hatchback format (if it’s the hatch): Practicality plus premium feel.
Strong resale potential if well maintained and correct spec.
