Has anyone driven and owned the 1 series from this year(ish).

What are your plus points, downsides and any concerns?

I'll be buying blind so will be super vigilant on checks.

I've only ever driven a 330D estate and X5. I liked the 330D but found it abit cramped inside (driving) but otherwise great.

I'd probably map it to 187bhp which would help. Is it really that bad to reverse I.e. need to fit reverse sensors?

For an estate... yes

Sorry to clarify I was wearing more than just a tshirt etc. If that makes sense. In the 1 series it would be just me 90% of the time so no concern for others sat behind and I'd be in relaxed clothing.
