BMW 1 Series 5 door

The BMW 1 Series 5-door doesn't just look shapely on the outside.  Inside you're met by the purposeful curves of the dashboard that places primary functions immediately to hand.

Add the optional sports seats, which provide maximum support when cornering and you are in the perfect position to enjoy the car's spontaneous power.

The inside story continues with a 60:40 split-fold backrest which provides an almost level luggage compartment floor.  What's more, you can customise the cabin with a smart range of colours and trims to reflect your individual taste.

The improved levels of comfort and luxury are matched by impressive levels of standard safety features.  Six airbags ensure optimum safety for occupants, while ISOFIX fixing points ensure plenty of options for children.

Furthermore, the Dynamic Stability, Traction and Brake Controls combine to keep the car safely on the road.  Even those behind you can keep a safe distance thanks to Brake Force Display, which increases the area of the brake light when emergency braking.

Like the 1 Series 3-door, the 5-door also benefits from BMW's EfficientDynamics programme technology which includes Auto Start/Stop and an Optimum Gearshift Indicator.

You also have the option of BMW's innovative Adaptive headlights, which automatically adjust the direction of the light beam to the twists of the road.  Plus, Run-flat tyres mean you can travel up to 150 miles at 50 mph with a puncture - do don't let anything stop you.
