There are currently 13 used BMW 1 Series models available, with prices ranging from £7,295 to £19,499. You could drive away a 1 Series from as little as £166 per month on a representative Hire Purchase finance example. These figures represent real cars on sale today, updated as of 21 July 2026. The BMW 1 Series is a popular compact executive car, with all current listings in the efficient Hatchback body style. This model is ideal for buyers seeking a premium badge, a comfortable ride, and engaging driving dynamics in a smaller package, perfect for city driving or longer journeys. Our stock currently includes both petrol and diesel variants, covering model years from 2014 to 2023. When considering a used BMW 1 Series, it is commonly reported that the timing chain can be a point of attention, particularly on earlier diesel models. While not universal, it is always worth checking the service history and listening for any unusual noises during a test drive. Regarding ULEZ compliance, we currently do not have specific data on the ULEZ status of all our 1 Series stock. However, most petrol cars from roughly 2006 onwards (Euro 4 emissions standard) and diesel cars from September 2015 onwards (Euro 6 emissions standard) typically meet ULEZ requirements, meaning they can be driven through ULEZ zones without charge. You can easily filter our listings by your preferred monthly budget or cash price to find the perfect BMW 1 Series for you.
