Detailed analysis of the BMW 118i 5p · 136 CV (2017-2019)
General description
The 2017 BMW 1 Series 118i is the gateway to the BMW universe, a compact that dares to be different. In a world dominated by front-wheel drive, this 1 Series proudly clings to rear-wheel drive, promising a pure and authentic driving experience. With its three-cylinder engine and undeniable premium character, it's not just a car, it's a statement of intent.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel is to feel an immediate connection. The 136 hp three-cylinder engine is surprising for its verve and its peculiar, addictive sound, pushing eagerly from low revs. But the real magic lies in its chassis and rear-wheel drive. Every curve becomes an invitation to enjoyment, with a playful yet controllable rear end that makes you feel part of the drive. It's an agile, direct, and communicative car that reminds you why you love to drive.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure BMW: a long hood, a set-back cabin, and a sharp look that radiates sportiness. This 2017 update refined its lines, making it more attractive and mature. Inside, the atmosphere is sober, elegant, and driver-focused. The quality of the materials and the fit of every part convey a sense of solidity and luxury that envelops you and makes you feel like you're in a higher-category car.
Technology and features
Although its heart is mechanical and passionate, the technology accompanies it perfectly. The iDrive infotainment system of the era remains a benchmark for its ease of use and logic. The engineering under the skin is superb, with a multi-link rear suspension and a near-perfect weight distribution that are key to its dynamic behavior. It's not a car loaded with screens, but with technology at the service of sensations.
Competition
In the pantheon of premium compacts, its rivals are clear and powerful: the Audi A3 and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Both offer spectacular designs and cutting-edge technology, but neither can replicate the thrill of the BMW's rear-wheel drive. The 1 Series plays in its own league, attracting a driver who is looking for more than just a means of transport, but an experience.
Conclusion
The BMW 118i is a car with a soul. It is the choice of the heart for those who value the purity of driving above all else. It represents an endangered species, a rear-wheel-drive compact that prioritizes smiles per mile. It combines the practicality of a five-door with BMW's sporting heritage, creating an irresistibly fun and special package. It is, without a doubt, a true BMW.
