WE’VE driven the 116 ED version of the face-lifted BMW 1- Series and found it to be a keen driving experience, yet low emissions and CO2 figures, mean it’s the perfect fit for business.
Good thing too, as a BMW spokesperson at the UK launch confirmed there were no plans for a Business Edition model moving forward.
“We’re not ruling it out for the future, but with the specification for the 116 ED set by the RV1 group key residual value setters, including CAP and Glasses, we feel the standard package is excellent as it is.”
Work with these residual setters appears to be having a positive effect on values, with CAP showing a 4 to 5% increase, predicted to go up to 7% with the addition of standard sat-nav from this September.
