New model line-up plans revealed by BMW & confirms X4 production

The BMW 1 Series has been a shadow in the BMW range otherwise bright and shiny. The only positive side of the range was within the limited edition Coupe 1M. BMW realizes this and the second generation of a wide range will receive a dose of BMWness to make the car up to the plate.

As the base model 1 of the series with its 1.6-liter gasoline engine and 2.0 liter diesel will remain available as a 5 door hatchback. The 1 Series range will be more exciting and dare we say 'happy' models.

There are two new engines which includes a 2.0 liter diesel and 2.0 liter petrol that offer. The 125d diesel engine features a twin stage turbocharger; the engine will develop 221PS of power with 450Nm of torque. The 125i petrol engine will feature a twin scroll turbocharger and will develop 221PS of power with 310Nm of torque. The engine options will be available in 1 Series hatchbacks, coupes and convertibles. 

The BMW 1 Series hatchback, coupe and convertible will now be available in M Sport guise aswell. The BMW 1M cars will feature  M aerodynamic body styling, 18-inch M Star-spoke light alloy wheels, High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim and kidney grille with extra-wide high-gloss black vertical slats,  M Sport multifunction steering wheel and an M Sport short-shift gear lever.  M Sport suspension, lowering the car by 10mm, completes the package.
