This model of 1 series was launched in 2012 and offers a sporty look, inspiring drive and excellent level of standard equipment. It is a model that ran until 2019 with only minor revisions, and it has aged incredibly well, especially when finished in bright red like this one. Most importantly these F20 model of 1 series is the final incarnation of the baby Beemer to be rear-wheel drive.
