Climate control is manual as base with automatic dual-zone as an option or higher trim. Cruise control with brake function is standard. Driver aids like AEB, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, parking sensors and reversing camera are available as options or standard on higher trims and in select markets.

Official specifications list no permitted trailer load for braked or unbraked towing. Payload is 515 kg according to DIN figures. No heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension is noted as available.
The cabin has a quirky premium feel with circular motifs, toggle switches and ambient lighting that shifts with drive modes. Front seats are snug and supportive with height adjustment. The 5-door layout adds usable rear space and a flexible boot compared to the 3-door. Higher trims bring leatherette or leather sports seats plus a bright panoramic glass roof.
WLTP combined fuel use 5.5-6.2 l/100 km depending on transmission and wheels
Engine oil service every 2 years or 18 000 miles
Euro NCAP 4 stars (2014 test of this generation)
Standard kit includes multiple airbags, ABS, DSC stability control and tyre pressure monitor
The 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo Cooper returns combined WLTP figures in the mid-5 to low-6 l/100 km range. Real-world economy sits lower on mixed roads but the small tank still gives useful range for a city hatch.
Servicing follows the condition-based system. Oil and filter changes are due every two years or 18 000 miles, with cabin filter, air filter and spark plugs linked to later oil services. Brake fluid is first changed at three years then every two years.
Crash protection earned four Euro NCAP stars on the original test of this body. Standard equipment covers front, side, curtain and knee airbags plus electronic stability and traction control. City AEB, lane departure warning and parking sensors appear on many market specs or packages.
Keeping the car is straightforward with BMW-group parts availability. Run-flat tyres are common and the CBS display tracks remaining service life so owners can plan ahead.
