The BMW 1 Series showcased the brand in altogether more accessible light, providing drivers with a more cost-friendly entrance into this German manufacturer’s range than before. The 116 brings a typically premium feeling that you’d expect from BMW, coupled with an engine which has both performance and efficiency to offer.

Overall rating 4.5/5The 116 name applies to both petrol and diesel-powered cars - using 116i and 116d monikers respectively - and both are a great match for the 1 Series package. Efficient yet with enough punch to get you up to speed in good enough time, they feel like a natural pairing for this second-generation 1 Series. The good news is that these engines have been proven to be quite robust, too, and there’s a good availability for both on AA Cars today.
