About the BMW F21
The F21 is the three-door version of the second-generation 1 Series, built from 2011 to 2019. Sharing the F20 five-door’s rear-wheel-drive platform — the last 1 Series to send power to the rear — the F21 offered the same wide engine range, from frugal four-cylinder diesels to the 125i’s punchy petrol. Compact, well-built and engaging to drive, the F21 appealed to enthusiasts who wanted a premium small hatch with BMW’s classic rear-drive balance.
