BMW 1 Series Car Leasing

Whether it's cheaper to buy or lease a BMW 1 Series in 2026 will depend on your individual circumstances and preferences. It's always a good idea to compare financing options and consider the long-term costs and benefits of each option before making a decision.

All of our 1 Seriess are supplied by UK dealer groups and BMW. We have service level agreements in place to ensure you get the best possible delivery experience and we monitor our suppliers on a daily basis.

Your new BMW 1 Series will need to be serviced in accordance to BMW’s maintenance schedule using original parts. Please note that some funders will allow you to service your vehicle at an independent service agent rather than a main dealer. Your account manager will be happy to advise and can also supply a full maintenance agreement for most leased vehicles for added convenience.

Yes: all of our BMW 1 Seriess are brand new unless stated and come with a full UK BMW warranty. Breakdown cover is included for the first year as a minimum and can be included throughout your lease contract for a small additional charge. Please get in touch for more information.

This could be anything from a few months depending on the vehicle you have ordered, to just a few days if the car is in stock and on site at one of our dealers, if we can approve credit quickly and if your documentation is complete. If it is a personal contract hire or regulated agreement then it may take a little longer. Distance marketing regulations are in place to protect you and require a minimum two-week cooling off period unless you visit our offices. If you visit UK Carline to sign documents and collect your car in person, we can sometimes reduce the lead-time further depending on the finance company. We can advise you of this at the time of your enquiry.
