Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW 1 Series Diesel 118d Sport Plus is a standout in its class, particularly for those who relish the driving experience. From an engineering perspective, this car is superb, offering phenomenal driving characteristics that are quintessentially BMW. The front enginerear-wheel-drive setup with a near 5050 weight distribution and low centre of gravity makes it a joy to drive, especially in Indian conditions. The 2-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine delivers 143PS and 320Nm of torque, making it feel punchier than its 0-100kmh time of 8.9 seconds suggests. While the infotainment system may be a bit of a letdown due to its over-reliance on touch controls, the driving dynamics and overall performance more than make up for this. If you prefer being in control and enjoy driving, the BMW 118d Sport Plus is definitely worth considering.

Price

The BMW 1 Series Diesel 118d Sport Plus is priced at Rs. 32.68 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can escalate to around Rs. 38-40 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. While this may seem on the expensive side, the premium built quality, impressive engine, and unmatched driving pleasure it offers make it well worth the investment. For those who value the driving experience and are willing to pay for the distinction of owning the only rear-wheel drive hatchback in its segment, the price is justified.
