The BMW E87 is part of the first generation 1 Series, produced from 2004 to 2011. It was introduced as a compact hatchback and offered a sporty, rear-wheel-drive layout—rare in its class.
Available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, the E87 stood out for its sharp handling, premium build quality, and BMW driving dynamics in a smaller package. It laid the foundation for the 1 Series' success and attracted drivers looking for a compact car with real performance character.
