BMW 1er-Reihe F40 116d Advantage Steptronic (DKG) - Town car

Is a BMW 1er-Reihe F40 116d Advantage Steptronic (DKG) a good city car?

BMW 1er-Reihe F40 116d Advantage Steptronic (DKG)

Is the BMW 1er-Reihe also suitable for people on the road in city? Here it primarily depends on the dimensions of the vehicle, but also on comfort features such as parking assistance and connectivity.

With a length of 4319 mm and a width of 2081 mm, this is already a handsome vehicle. In narrow parking garages and narrow, fully parked streets one has it already clearly more heavily. The turning circle of 11.4 meters makes maneuvering in tight spaces even more difficult. Appropriate parking assistants such as a 360-degree camera and parking sensors should definitely be on board.

The vehicle has electronics and assistants that make parking automatic, i.e. self-steering, if desired. Parking sensors are installed in the front and rear, and also on the sides. A rear-view camera is installed, which automatically displays the image in the infotainment system when reversing.

Rating: The BMW 1er-Reihe is a vehicle with compact dimensions. Cameras and parking sensors and parking assistance like self-steering systems are usually available in this class, but not always standard. A good compromise for those who travel a lot in the city but also have to cover longer distances from time to time.
