Drive type

Wheel drive type: Rear wheel drive (RWD)Front wheel drive (FWD)
Front-wheel drive cars (Lexus CT) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW 1 series) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions.
Ground clearance: 140 mm (5.5 inches)130 mm (5.1 inches)
Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW 1 series can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this BMW 1 series version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from three 4x4 versions of BMW 1 series 2011 if off-road driveability is important to you.

Engines

Average engine lifespan: 350'000 km420'000 km
Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Lexus CT engine could be longer.
Engine production duration: 17 years15 years
Engine spread: Installed on at least 6 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 3 sērija, BMW X3, BMW X1Used only for this car
In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW 1 series might be a better choice in this respect.
