• BMW 1 Series E81/E87 (2004 - ) - 120D SE : 6000 mile ownership report 20 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I paid a very reasonable £11700 retail, for a 2.5 years old which had covered 55k miles. I will start with the good bits? The 120D is a fantastic driver?s car, and that begins with the superb 163 bhp chain-cam engine which delivers a combination of performance, economy and refinement which would have been inconceivable only a few years ago. It?s a winner.
