BMW 1 Series

How much do new and used BMW 1 Series cars cost?

BMW 1 Series is a line of small cars (C-Class), which debuted in 2004 as the brand's first compact model. This car adopted about 60% of technical solutions from its big brother BMW 3 Series in E90 body.

The first generation - from 2004 to 2013. It was produced in 4 bodies:

  • 3 door hatchback (E81);
  • 5 door hatchback (E81);
  • coupe (E82);
  • convertible (E88);

Typical BMW traits such as driving pleasure, high-quality engines and precise dynamics are evident here, as is the option to order luxury equipment such as the iDrive system. But the BMW 1 Series sets even more standards: it has the longest wheelbase in its class, short overhangs front and rear, and it is the first car in its segment with two-stage brake lights. Engines are gasoline and diesel: 1.6 - 3.0 liters (85 - 250 kW, 116 - 340 hp), 4- and 6-cylinder.

Second generation - 2011-2019. Presented in 5-door (F20) and 3-door (F21) hatchback bodies. The forward-sloping sill line emphasizes the dynamic, elongated silhouette, while strong fender contours accentuate the rear wheel arches. In the refreshed 2015 model, the front and rear have been redesigned to look even more independent, while the engines offer more power and lower fuel consumption, as well as reduced emissions. Engines are diesel and gasoline: 1.5-3.0 liters (75-250 kW, 102-340 hp), 3-, 4- and 6-cylinder.

Third generation is 2019-2024. Available in sedan (F52) and hatchback (F40) body styles. Sharply defined lines lead from the dynamic, large radiator grille to the athletic rear end. The agile and powerful engines and the sporty chassis, which can be adapted at will via adjustable dampers, guarantee sporty driving dynamics. It is also ensured by the 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. Passengers enjoy an open cabin atmosphere. Driver assistance systems now include, optionally, frontal collision warning with automatic braking, parking assistant and reversing assistant for even greater safety. At the end of 2020, the engines have been optimized again. A 2-liter four-cylinder engine is now available with 131 kW (178 hp) for the BMW 120i and 195 kW (265 hp) for the BMW 128ti.

Fourth generation (F70) - officially introduced on June 4, 2024. The exact start of production is not known.

The cost of a BMW 1 Series can vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including the specific model, year of manufacture, and market conditions. On average, prices for new BMW 1 Series models in Europe start from 28,000 euros for base variants and can exceed 50,000 euros for high-performance versions such as the M135i.

For example, a new BMW 118i in basic trim might cost around 30,000 euros, while a well-equipped 120d xDrive could reach 40,000 euros. The sportier M135i xDrive, boasting 306 horsepower, typically starts at about 48,000 euros but can easily surpass 55,000 euros with optional extras.

Used BMW 1 Series models offer a more budget-friendly entry point to the range. A three-year-old 118i with moderate mileage might be found for around 20,000 euros, while a similar-aged M140i could still command 35,000 euros or more, depending on its condition and specification.

The price of a new BMW 1 Series in 2024 starts at approximately 28,000 euros for the base 118i model with a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. However, the final cost can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • Engine choice: Upgrading to the more powerful 120i or the diesel 118d can increase the price by 2,000 - 4,000 euros.
  • Trim level: The basic Advantage version, sporty M Sport, or luxurious Luxury Line affect the cost. The difference between the base and top trim can reach up to 10,000 euros.
  • Drive type: Choosing the all-wheel-drive xDrive version instead of the standard rear-wheel drive adds about 2,000 euros to the price.
  • Options: Panoramic roof (+1,500 euros), leather interior (+2,000 euros), navigation system (+1,000 euros), and other options can substantially increase the cost.

Thus, a well-equipped BMW 1 Series in M Sport trim with a powerful engine and all-wheel drive can cost around 45,000 - 50,000 euros, while the top-of-the-line M135i xDrive with a maximum set of options can exceed 60,000 euros.

Prices for used BMW 1 Series depend on the generation, year of manufacture, mileage, and overall condition of the car. Let's consider the cost for the last two generations:

Third generation (F40, from 2019 to present):

  • 2022-2024 years: from 25,000 to 45,000 euros (mileage up to 50,000 km)
  • 2020-2021 years: from 20,000 to 35,000 euros (mileage 50,000-100,000 km)
  • 2019 year: from 18,000 to 30,000 euros (mileage 100,000-150,000 km)

Second generation (F20/F21, 2011-2019):

  • 2017-2019 years: from 15,000 to 25,000 euros (mileage 100,000-150,000 km)
  • 2014-2016 years: from 10,000 to 20,000 euros (mileage 150,000-200,000 km)
  • 2011-2013 years: from 7,000 to 15,000 euros (mileage over 200,000 km)

Factors affecting the cost of a used BMW 1 Series:

  • Trim level (M Sport, Urban Line are more expensive)
  • Engine power (125i, M140i versions are significantly more expensive than base models)
  • Presence of all-wheel drive xDrive (increases the cost)
  • Condition of the body and interior
  • Service history (regular maintenance at an official dealer increases the price)
  • Additional equipment (leather interior, navigation, large wheels)
