In this carwow episode, the team delves into the world of BMW, starting with the pricey new 1 Series that costs a jaw-dropping £42,000. They compare it to some used BMW gems like the m340i, 7 Series, and m4cs, all of which offer more excitement for the money. The 120 M Sport model of the 1 Series, priced at £32,000, comes loaded with £10,000 worth of options, elevating its luxury status. While the interior boasts top-notch tech and material quality, some cheap plastic elements bring down the overall feel of the car. Despite having the latest BMW technology, the absence of an iDrive controller makes accessing functions a bit of a chore, detracting from the user experience.

Moving on to the m340i, this beast packs a punch with a 3L straight-six turbo engine, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel bias, delivering a thrilling driving experience. The car's performance surpasses expectations, outshining even some previous-generation M cars. Adaptive dampers enhance comfort, while the design and features of the m340i have stood the test of time, still feeling fresh and exciting after four years. The interior quality and driving dynamics of the m340i easily overshadow those of the new 1 Series, making it a clear winner in terms of overall appeal. Despite minor scratches on the interior, the m340i impresses with its spacious backseat and solid build quality, offering a compelling alternative to buying new.
