Used diesel BMW 1 Series cars for sale

Many family hatches have abandoned diesel power, but it remains a popular choice in the BMW 1 Series lineup. That's a good thing because the brand's diesel engines are some of the best in the business and they're a great choice for long-distance drivers to keep running costs down. Entry-level 116d models may not impress with their 10-second 0-62mph time, but their 60mpg claimed economy more than makes up for it. 118d cars feel more balanced with mpg figures still in the high-50s but a much punchier 150hp output. At the top of the range is the 120d – optionally available with xDrive four-wheel drive – which cuts the 0-62mph sprint to a healthy seven seconds while retaining mpg figures above 50.
