Detailed analysis of the BMW 118i 5p Aut. · 136 CV (2015-2017)
General description
The 2015 BMW 1 Series 118i represents the gateway to the BMW universe, a compact that dared to be different. In a sea of front-wheel drives, this 1 Series clings to the brand's essence with its rear-wheel drive, promising a unique and purist driving experience, even with its efficient and modern three-cylinder engine.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel is rediscovering the pleasure of driving. The rear-wheel drive connects you to the asphalt in a way its rivals can only dream of, pushing from behind in every corner with addictive agility. The 136 hp engine, though modest in numbers, feels full of life thanks to excellent low-end torque and the masterful 8-speed automatic gearbox, which operates with a smoothness and speed that are captivating. It's a car that doesn't just take you places; it makes you feel every kilometer.
Design and aesthetics
The 2015 redesign did it wonders, giving it a sharper look and a more elegant rear that erased any doubts about its appeal. Its proportions are those of a true BMW: a long hood hiding the longitudinal engine and a set-back cabin. Inside, the atmosphere is sober, of the highest quality, and completely driver-oriented. Every control is where you expect it, creating a perfect symbiosis between man and machine.
Technology and features
Although its heart is its mechanics, the 118i does not renounce technology. The iDrive infotainment system, controlled from the central knob, remains a benchmark for its logic and speed. Under the hood, the three-cylinder engine is a small engineering gem, with direct injection and a turbo to offer surprising performance with minimal consumption. The Stop-Start function and the efficiency of the automatic transmission complete a technological package designed for enjoyment and efficiency.
Competition
In the premium compact ring, its direct adversaries were the Audi A3 and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. While the A3 opted for impeccable balance and a technological interior, and the A-Class for a groundbreaking and striking design, the BMW 1 Series played a unique and winning card for enthusiasts: rear-wheel drive. None of its direct rivals could offer that pure connection and driving dynamics that define the BMW.
Conclusion
The BMW 118i is not just a car; it's a statement of principles. It is the choice for those who value the essence of driving above all else. It may not be the most spacious or the most avant-garde, but the sensations transmitted by its chassis and rear-wheel drive are a treasure in the compact segment. It is, without a doubt, a true BMW, and the last of a lineage of rear-wheel-drive compacts that is already missed.
