About the E81 1 Series
The E81 is the three-door hatchback of the first-generation 1 Series, made from 2004 to 2013, which replaced the 3 Series Compact. Unusually for a hatchback it has rear-wheel drive with a lengthwise engine and 50:50 weight balance.
What these manuals cover
- Four-cylinder petrol: the 116i, 118i and 120i (N43, N45, N46).
- Diesel: the 118d, 120d and 123d (N47).
- Six-cylinder: the 130i (N52).
Tip: these are BMW factory manuals, listed by model, engine and body rather than by year. The code in brackets is the engine (M54, N52 and so on), and the last word is the body: SAL saloon, TOUR Touring (estate), COUPE, CONVER convertible, COMP Compact (hatchback), ROADST roadster, OFFRD for the X models. The E87 manuals cover the same engines.
