BMW 116i, 2005, Kuopio

Here's a catchy and suitably humorous auction description from the source of German engineering: BMW 116i (2005) Manual – a pocket-sized rear-wheel-drive legend!

Looking for a car that combines a German premium brand, rear-wheel drive favoured by the youngsters and a price that won't cause instant palpitations? This is it: the 2005 BMW 1 Series (E87)!

The odometer reads 260,000 km, which means this car has seen life, heard the best basslines and survived all of Finland's winters with honours. It isn't new, it isn't perfect, but it's got that something!

Why should this Bavarian wonder be on your driveway?

• Genuine rear-wheel drive: Yes, rare in this segment! In winter this car turns every supermarket exit into a small adventure (ESP on for safety — or not).

• 1.6-litre petrol unit (85 kW): Just enough power to keep your licence in your pocket, but enough pull for everyday needs. Fuel consumption isn't shocking, so you'll have money left for code or an energy drink.

• Manual gearbox: You're in charge here. No computer guessing — just pure mechanical driving pleasure via a five-speed box.

• Compact yet surprisingly roomy: Park it anywhere, but the five-door body means you can bring friends along – or at least the two best ones who fit in the back.

• TIMING CHAIN REPLACED!: Worried the chain might seize and wreck the engine? Worry not — the chain was replaced in 2023 at 226,000 km. Receipt is in the car.

The car has covered 260,000 km on Finnish roads. The body shows the patina of age, minor wear and stone chips (a bit like all of us approaching thirty). The interior is tidy and the car starts cheerfully for new challenges. The mechanics work and the car is ready to drive away!
