About the BMW 1 Series
The BMW 1 Series is a premium compact hatchback available in South Africa across 118, 118 Pure Design, 118 M Sport, and M135 specification levels, all powered by petrol engines with automatic transmission, offering BMW's premium brand experience and driving refinement in a city-friendly compact hatchback format. The front-wheel-drive 118 range covers everyday premium hatchback buyers, while the M135 at the top of the lineup adds a high-performance all-wheel drive package that competes with the Mercedes-AMG A35 and Audi S3. It competes with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Audi A3 in the premium compact hatchback segment, and is assembled with the build quality and technology focus that distinguishes BMW from mainstream alternatives at a similar size.
Who is the 1 Series best for?
- Premium compact hatchback buyers who want BMW brand quality and driving refinement in a city-friendly size
- Buyers comparing the 1 Series against the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Audi A3 on interior quality and driving character
- Buyers who want the M Sport specification for sportier styling without the performance premium of the M135
- Performance hatchback buyers who want the M135 xDrive as a BMW M division alternative to the Mercedes-AMG A35
