    BMW 118i FAQs

    BMW 1 Series: replacement key cost

    It really depends on the variant and year of your BMW. Have a look at our article on how to replace your car keys here for more information.

    What is the cheapest BMW?

    Currently, the cheapest new BMW is the 118i Sport Line which is listed at $39,900. For up to date information on the pricing of BMWs, head to our pricing page.

    Audi RS Q3 or BMW 135i, which is more fun?

    That's a rather subjective question that's almost impossible to answer. It also depends on what you call fun. Both would be fun to drive, but if I were to make the choice purely on the driving experience I would choose the BMW.
