2024 BMW 1 Series 120 M Sport 5-door Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve got this 2024 BMW 1 Series 120 M Sport — not the flashy new one, but the one with the Melbourne Red metallic paint and that aggressive M Sport package. It’s got 19-inch alloy wheels, which look sharp when you’re driving down the road, and the whole thing feels more like a sports hatch than a regular sedan.

Under the hood, it’s got that 48V mild hybrid system — not a full electric, but it helps with efficiency and makes the drive feel smoother, especially when you’re merging or stopping. The M Adaptive Suspension gives it a bit more composure on bumpy roads, which I’ve noticed makes a difference on local routes.

Inside, it’s all about driver focus — heated front seats, a sharp M Sport interior, and the cabin feels really well put together. The DAB radio, Apple/Android Auto, and parking sensors make daily driving a breeze. I also like the green-tinted heat protection glazing — keeps the interior cooler without needing to crank the AC too much.

It’s been fully serviced and has a full service history, which is a big plus for me. The car’s low mileage, and it’s been checked out by BMW-trained mechanics. I’ve driven it around a bit in brightlingsea, Tendring, and it’s been really reliable.

I’m not selling it to get rich — just because it’s been a solid daily driver for me, and I’ve got a few things I’d like to do with it next. It’s not a show car, but it does have that bit of sportiness that makes you feel like you’re driving something special.

If you’re interested, I can show it to you — I’m based in brightlingsea, Tendring, and I’m happy to meet up for a test drive or just chat about it. It’s not the cheapest car, but it’s one of those that actually feels like it belongs on the road.

(And yeah, it’s worth a little over £25k — but that’s not the point. The point is it’s a solid, well-maintained hatchback that’s been driven smartly and kept clean.)
