Common Issues to Check
- Timing chain issues in some early N47 diesel engines (mostly pre-2015, but worth investigating service history).
- Electrical gremlins, especially with infotainment systems or warning lights.
- Suspension components like bushes and shock absorbers can wear, particularly on models with larger wheels and sportier setups.
- Oil leaks from rocker cover gaskets or oil filter housings on some petrol engines.
- Potential for uneven tyre wear, especially on models without regular wheel alignment checks.
Running Costs
- Fuel Economy: 35-65 mpg (depending on engine and driving style)
- Insurance Group: Group 13 – Group 30 (varies significantly by engine size and trim)
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be pricey, but independent BMW specialists offer more affordable options. Regular maintenance is crucial, and a full service history is a must-have when buying used. Check for ULEZ compliance if you live in or regularly drive into low emission zones.
Which Variant Should I Choose?
- 118i (Petrol): Perfect for urban driving and those who desire a smooth, revvy petrol engine. It offers a good balance of performance and efficiency for everyday use, often with lower insurance premiums.
