BMW 118d Sports Hatch
BMW certainly can't be accused of standing still with its 1-Series range in recent years.
Coupe and convertible versions have joined the pioneering hatch, while a host of petrol and diesel engines have been added to complement the original petrol four-cylinder.
Now, the evolution of the German brand's baby continues with the addition of two differently flavoured diesel models to replace the frugal 120d.
While the 123d gets an all-new twin-turbo diesel that combines truly sporting performance with great economy, the 118d tested here is targeted at super-misers such as Toyota's hybrid Prius and is available in hatch or convertible form.
