BMW 1 SERIES

BMW’s 1 series has been in production since 2004, and the 2015 facelift saw updates to the exterior design giving a sportier and more aggressive look, while also adding the 3-cylinder petrol engine, and upgrades to other existing engines. The 1 series is available with a large range of options, including BMW’s X-drive all-wheel drive system, and M-sport package.

The 1 series has been a popular choice since its release, and the updated changes in the third generation have delivered a lighter, more economic, and spacious vehicle. The main competition for the 1 series is Audi’s A1 and A3, the Mercedes Benz A Class and BMW’s own 2 and 3 series.

Common Problems with the BMW 1 Series?

The 1 series has been considered one of the more reliable vehicles in its class, and with regular servicing and maintenance your BMW 1 Series should be as safe and reliable as ever. The mechanics at Auto Studio in Adelaide are experts in premium European cars and would love to assist you with your regular servicing needs.

Coil Pack

Loss of power, unusual vibrations, rough engine idle and an illuminated check engine light can all be symptoms of a failing coil pack. This can be a common problem throughout the 1 series range, but fortunately it is something that is a relatively simple fix. Book in with the experienced mechanics at Auto Studio if you need to have your BMW looked at.

Timing Chain

It is extremely important that you have your timing chain regularly inspected and replaced before a problem occurs as a snapped chain will cause significant engine damage. Some key signs it may be time to have your chain replaced include a shaky engine, rough idle or the engine working harder than usual. If you have any concerns about the state of your timing chain, bring your car into Auto Studio in Adelaide and we can inspect your vehicle and replace your timing chain if required.

Uneven Tyre Wear

Some drivers have experienced uneven tyre wear with various 1 Series models, while this doesn’t necessarily stop you from driving, it can leave you out of pocket and purchasing new tyres sooner than you may have needed. Common causes for this are the steering rack, or the need for a simple wheel alignment. If you have noticed uneven wear on your tyres, the expert mechanics at Auto Studio will happily isolate the problem and have your car back in prime condition.
