Buyers must remember that a used BMW 1-Series is not a brand-new BMW 1-Series! Abuse the car and you risk stripping the gearbox or blowing a turbo – therefore it is advisable to purchase an after-market maintenance plan.
Firstly, buying a used BMW 1-Series gives you access into the status vehicle sector and that’s whether you are buying an entry-spec 116i or a high-performance M140i.
