2012 BMW 1 Series F20 116i Hatchback 5dr Man 6sp 1.6T — Rare 6-speed manual, sunroof and leather — Only $7,888 plus on-road costs A rare find — a 6-speed manual F20 1 Series finished in striking Liquid Blue metallic over black leather, and fitted with a sunroof. Manual BMWs are getting harder to find every year, and this one comes with good service history at an outstanding price. Under the bonnet sits BMW's award-winning 1.6-litre TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder producing 100kW and 220Nm — an engine that feels far stronger than its capacity suggests thanks to a broad torque band from just 1,350rpm. Paired with the slick 6-speed manual gearbox and BMW's signature rear-wheel drive layout, it delivers the kind of pure, engaging driving experience that made the 1 Series famous. It remains the only rear-drive hatchback of its generation, with near 50:50 weight distribution and beautifully weighted, communicative steering. Despite the fun factor, it's remarkably frugal — around 5.5L/100km combined — helped by BMW EfficientDynamics with Auto Start-Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration. 0–100km/h comes up in approximately 8.5 seconds. Liquid Blue is a superb, deep metallic that suits the F20's sharp, athletic proportions perfectly, and the combination with black leather and a sunroof lifts this example well above the standard specification. Inside, the cabin is classic BMW — a driver-focused layout, supportive seats, quality materials throughout and the iDrive-based infotainment with a free-standing display. With good service history included and a sharp asking price of just $7,888 plus on-road costs, this is a brilliant opportunity to get into a premium European hatch with genuine driver appeal, low running costs and rare manual specification.
