Detailed analysis of the BMW 118d 3p Aut. · 150 CV (2017-2019)
General description
The 2017 BMW 1 Series is much more than a simple compact car; it is the embodiment of a philosophy that seemed to be dying out. In its 3-door body, this 118d represents the last bastion of rear-wheel drive in its segment, a statement of intent for those who understand that driving is about feeling the road.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel is to rediscover the pleasure of pure driving. The 150 hp diesel engine pushes with an addictive force from low revs, thanks to its 320 Nm of torque, while the 8-speed automatic gearbox shifts with a smoothness and speed that borders on telepathy. But the real magic lies in its chassis. You feel how the rear axle propels you out of corners, the steering is precise and communicative, and the car's overall balance invites you to seek the next turn with a smile. It's a car that talks to you and makes you feel part of the machine.
Design and aesthetics
Its silhouette is athletic and compact, a promise of agility. The long bonnet and set-back cabin betray its rear-wheel-drive architecture, a design feature that purists love. The three-door body accentuates its coupé character, with clean lines and a muscular presence. Inside, the cabin embraces you, with a cockpit perfectly oriented towards the driver and high-quality materials that convey an unmistakable premium feel, albeit with a typically German sobriety.
Technology and features
Although its soul is analog, its brain is decidedly modern for its time. The iDrive infotainment system was operated with a fluidity and logic that set the standard in the sector. The engine was not only powerful but also a marvel of efficiency thanks to common-rail injection and a surprisingly low official fuel consumption. The 8-speed ZF automatic transmission is a work of engineering that combines everyday comfort with a lightning-fast response when required.
Competition
In a market dominated by front-wheel drive, its direct competitors like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class were playing in a different league. They offered perhaps more avant-garde designs or more striking interiors, but none could replicate the mechanical connection and pure dynamism offered by the 1 Series' rear-wheel drive. This BMW competed not just on quality or technology, but in the realm of emotions, a space where it felt unique.
Conclusion
This BMW 118d is not a rational choice, it's a passionate one. It's the perfect car for those who value sensations over absolute practicality, for those who seek a partner on every journey. It represents the end of a golden era for BMW's compact cars, a vehicle with a character and dynamic purity that make it a future classic. It is a jewel of engineering that masterfully balances performance, efficiency, and the unmistakable pleasure of driving.
