The BMW 1 Series is a compact executive car produced by the German automaker BMW since 2004. It was the first BMW to be offered exclusively with a front-wheel-drive layout, a departure from the brand's traditional rear-wheel-drive configuration. The 1 Series was designed to appeal to a younger, more urban audience, offering a premium driving experience in a smaller package than its larger siblings. It was available in various trim levels, including the 116i, 116d, 118i, 118d, 120i, 120d, 123d, and 130i, each offering a distinct combination of power and efficiency. These designations refer to the engine size and type, with "i" indicating a petrol engine and "d" a diesel engine.

The first generation of the 1 Series (E87) was launched in 2004 and remained in production until 2011. It offered a range of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 95 hp to 306 hp. The 1 Series quickly gained popularity for its engaging driving dynamics, thanks to its well-balanced chassis and precise steering. It also featured a luxurious interior, packed with premium materials and technology. The second generation (F20) was unveiled in 2011 and featured a more mature design, improved interior space, and a range of new powertrains, including the efficient three-cylinder engine. With its sharp driving dynamics, stylish design, and premium interior, the BMW 1 Series continued to attract customers looking for a compact luxury car with a sporty edge.
