BMW 116i 2016 Video Review

Richard Berry road tests and reviews the BMW 1 Series with specs, fuel consumption and verdict at its Australian launch.

BMW’s 1 and 2 Series are like brothers who are so similar but so different. The 1 is a five door hatch, while the 2 is two-door coupe and convertible. One brother is practical and sensible and has a good job at a bank with an excellent chance of getting that promotion to state manager. The other is better looking, flamboyant, lives on a boat and works as a bounty hunter. At Christmas they get together where things always get off to a rocky start but then by midnight they’re both drunk and admitting they’re actually the best friends they’ll ever have.
