This first one is a review for the BMW 1 Series. Driving the BMW 1 SeriesThe 1 Series has a very good driving position , sitting lower than most but very comfortable. Radio controls and standard Trip Computer all easily accessible through controls on or around the steering wheel. The diesel engine is a particular highlight with excellent acceleration , top speed and excellent fuel economy ( regularly returning 50mpg+ ). The steering is excellent , immediate and light enough to be comfortable but with enough weight in the control to feel the car's movement. The suspension isn't as forgiving as others but this may be down to the run flat tyres that are standard with all BMW's now.
All the above coupled with a very good stereo , climate control , a number of airbags around the cabin ad remote locking makes this an excellent drivers car. The BMW 1 Series as A Fleet CarThe main desired features for a Fleet Car , as I see them , are low emissions ( for lower tax ) , fuel efficiency and a very comfortable drive regardless of distance. The BMW 1 Series enjoys all of these qualities and more. Service costs aren't the cheapest but being a BMW , the depreciation will not be as high as similar class vehicles. A diesel would be recommended , paying the same emissions tax as a small 1. 2 petrol car and note , there is no sacrifice of engine performance when opting for any of the excellent BMW diesel engines.
Certified used Series 5 BMWs have been quite an attraction in the recent times. This can partly be attributed to a strained economy where most people are tightening their spending. While the upper middle class to the wealthy hardly feel the pinch of the current credit crunch , the regular bargain hunters are more likely to go for the used brand rather than the new one. A great place to commence your search for the used BMW Series 5 is online. A simple Google entry will reveal lots of sources , from car dealerships to individuals and wholesalers who can procure the ultimate driving machine for anyone with the pocket. EBay motors is another excellent source.
