Used 2009 BMW 1 Series for Sale near Nova Scotia

Well built, no mechanical issues, 20,000 trouble free miles. The car handles brilliantly. Terrific brakes. Nav is easy to use. Interior has a great fit and finish except for the squeaky center arm rest. Average 26 mpg on 89 octane.

The BMW 1 series is a truly great rear wheel drive. It's rather small size added to a very well balanced chassis make the car fun and handy, especially when cornering. The BMW diesel engine has great torque, but it could still be a little better. The design of the car contributes to the fuel economy. All in all this car is a great pleasure, and a true BMW with high resale value.

This is a fine, fun car. I had an 128 convertible, auto trans. Maintenance is pretty expensive once you get out of warranty. People compliment you on your car. It is speedy and nimble. May buy another.

Overall there is not much I dislike about the car. I wish it came with the rear differential from the M3 or 1M, but I can understand with they didn't. It handles great with precise steering feel. The 6 speed automatic is a great transmission. In normal mode it shifts nice and smooth, but slide it over into Sport mode and it shifts firm and fast. It also has paddle shifters to operate it manual if you prefer and those shifts are extremely fast and crisp. Ride quality is sporty which is to be expected. The brakes feel solid and firm. Lastly, the audio system is top notch for its category.
