2019 BMW 1 Series 120d M Sport Shadow Edition Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2019 BMW 1 Series 120d M Sport Shadow Edition for a couple of years now, and honestly, it’s been one of the most reliable and enjoyable drives I’ve had. Only 44,000 miles on the clock, and it’s been well looked after — no major issues, just regular maintenance and careful use.

It’s a diesel, so it’s efficient for the kind of stuff I do — commuting, weekend trips, you name it. The 2.0L engine gets you from 0 to 60 in about 7.1 seconds, which isn’t flashy but definitely gets the job done without being over the top. The car’s Euro 6 compliant, so it’s a clean, modern fit for today’s regulations.

I’ve had it through a full history check and it’s been properly maintained. It comes with a full 12-month MOT included — no surprises there. The M Sport trim gives it a bit of edge — sporty look, sharper steering, and that cool M double-spoke alloy wheel in jet black. The interior is clean, practical, and has loads of handy bits: Bluetooth hands-free, USB audio, parking sensors, cruise control, and even a DAB radio.

There’s a Harman Kardon sound system too — not loud, but actually quite good for the cabin. I’ve used the rain sensor and automatic headlights a lot — they’re actually pretty smart. The seats are comfy, and the storage is solid, especially with the centre console and grab handles.

It’s been parked at home in Angmering, Arun, and I’m not planning to move it anytime soon. I’ve kept it well-maintained, and it’s got a solid provenance. I’ve also got a 3-year warranty on it — no strings, just peace of mind.

If you’re looking for something practical, reliable, and not too flashy but still with a bit of driving character, this one might just fit. I’m happy to chat about it — no pressure, just honest talk.

Let me know if you’d like to see it or talk through any of the features. I’ve got a bit of experience with it, so I can give you a real feel for how it’s actually driven.

(Price is £15,295.50 — but I’m not going to say that upfront. Just asking if it’s something you’d actually consider.)
