£19,375. That's the minimum you'll need to part with for the new 1-Series, which lands on September 17.

The all-new, all-bloated five-door waddles into the fray with a choice of two petrol and three diesel engines. The most humble of which - a 136bhp 116i - starts at £19,375 going up to £23,490 for the 184bhp 120d.

So, what d'you get for your extra £1345 (the current model starts at £18,030)? 30 more litres of luggage space, 17mm more girth, 85mm more length and a cabin feng-shui'd to give 21mm of extra leg room.

Like the old ‘un, all are rear-wheel drive - and BMW's adamant that this sets it apart in the portly-hatch sector - and the choice of gearboxes includes a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic.

Does it sound like sufficient bang for your buck?
