Start with the number most buyers check first: 122,410 miles. Admittedly, that reads high to American eyes. In Germany, however, it is unremarkable — these engines were built for Autobahn distance, and cars here routinely cover far more before anything of consequence wears out. What matters, then, is condition rather than odometer, and this one has passed a full German TÜV
safety inspection to prove it.

With that settled, consider the layout. Whereas nearly everything else in this class drives the front wheels, the 1 Series kept rear-wheel drive. As a result, you notice it the moment the road stops going straight: the steering loads up honestly, the car rotates instead of pushing, and the balance is precisely what BMW charges considerably more for further up the range.

Beyond the chassis, there is the engine. Because the 2.0L turbo diesel delivers its torque low and early, pulling onto the Autobahn takes one downshift from the 6-speed Steptronic rather than three. Even so, it returns up to 48 mpg combined — meaning a weekend to Garmisch costs less in fuel than most people spend getting to work.

Taken together, therefore, this is an unusually sensible car for an overseas tour: compact enough for German town centers, cheap enough to justify the long way home, and enjoyable enough that you will take it.
