For those in the market for a luxury hatchback, a rare opportunity has surfaced in Chennai: a meticulously maintained 2014 BMW 1 Series 118d (F20) Sport Line, available for INR 21 lakh. With just 24,000 kilometers on the odometer, this low-mileage gem promises the perfect blend of performance and style.
This specific model, equipped with a rear-wheel-drive 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine, is a rarity in the Indian market. The car has been carefully maintained, with all necessary services and replacements already completed. From fresh interiors to a pristine exterior, the vehicle is in outstanding condition and is poised to deliver reliable performance for years to come.
Enhancing its appeal, the car comes with brand new 19-inch wheels and tires, a revamped suspension system featuring Cobra springs, and freshly replaced filters and engine oil. Additionally, new rotors and ceramic brakes have been installed, ensuring the vehicle is as safe as it is stylish. The M2-inspired front end—a unique modification that could be the only one of its kind in Tamil Nadu—further sets this 118d apart from the crowd.
Despite its luxurious appeal, some online commentators have weighed in with their opinions. A user from the popular internet forum carsfromthepast noted, “The car is good for maybe half the price. It makes a plausible choice if you want something small and tactical. The 1 Series handles beautifully and with a tune, it goes beautifully too. The engine has well-documented problems that can be sorted before they even appear. Just keep that in mind.”
The second-generation BMW 1 Series, encompassing the BMW F20 (5-door hatchback) and BMW F21 (3-door hatchback), represents the pinnacle of subcompact executive cars. Assembled locally in Chennai, the 118d boasts a 2.0 L N47 inline-4 engine with a turbocharger, delivering 141 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque—making it a formidable choice for those seeking both luxury and performance in a compact package.
This listing offers a unique chance to own a piece of automotive excellence, blending the reliability of a well-maintained vehicle with the prestige of the BMW badge. For those in Chennai and beyond, this BMW 118d could be the luxury hatchback dream come true.
