Is a 118 any good?

Hi

 

I'm looking to buy a 1 Series convertible, automatic, don't mind petrol or diesel, around 4 years old. My son in law reckons I should avoid a 118 because it won't have enough power. What do you guys think? Wherever I've looked there are loads of 118s so I won't have the same amount of choice if I go for something bigger so need some advice please!

 

Cheers

    The diesel is about 140bhp with a top speed of 129mph. Its not fast 0 to 60 but its mid range torque is pretty impressive and that's far more important.

    The petrol is very similar performance wise but less mid range torque and not as economical. In the autos the diesel is slightly quicker 0 to 60.

    The M Sport versions are more desirable but you may not like the harsh ride.

    If your happy with those figures then go for it.
