How to buy a used BMW 1 Series (F20) – Buying advice | Common problems | Parts pricing

The BMW 1 Series has enabled a new generation of motoring enthusiasts to buy into the desirable Bavarian premium marque.

The 2nd-generation BMW 1 Series, codenamed F20, was the final version of the brand's premium hatchback to feature a rear-wheel-drive configuration and was powered by three-, four- and six-cylinder engines.

The model, which was sold in the South African market from 2011 to 2019 – and notably received a facelift (LCI) in 2015 – combined a luxuriously equipped cabin with a high level of driver engagement, in a distinctively styled, compact package.

In this video, guest presenter Reba S showcases a facelifted 2018 BMW 118i 5-door automatic.

She takes us through the strengths and weaknesses of the F20 BMW 1 Series, names what common mechanical problems you should look out for when shopping for a used example, and lists the prices of selected replacement parts that could add to the cost of ownership.
