What to know
BMW's overall brand average of 79.3%, among the highest of any high-volume brand, is shown here since DVSA's data doesn't break the 1 Series out on its own.
The 1 Series switched to front-wheel-drive underpinnings from the third generation onward, shared with the Mini range, which is worth knowing if you're comparing generations, since the driving character and some mechanical specifics differ from the older rear-wheel-drive versions.
