Actually quite liked the little 116d - very tidy handling and impressive refinement from the non-stressed 2.0d unit. Oh and it did get over 60 mpg!!
But seriously the 1 Series Sport has such a poor level of base equip for a 19k car. I mean it has metal kick plates on the doors, but no arm rest, cruise or climate control
. But the worst part was when we went to get a coffee on the motorway and my collegue realised it had no cup holders
.
I mean its 2010 BMW, even the koreans put cup holders in base cars!
So asked for a carryout container and improvised thus saving the BMW option price of what £50-100?.
P.s. it workd a treat and is now with the patent office
