The New BMW 1 Series: Sheer Driving Pleasure Now Found In The Compact Class With BMW Aftermarket Par
April 15th, 2008
The typical BMW drive concept, powerful engines, high-grade
equipment and the experience of sheer driving fun offer a new
and unique alternative in the new BMW 1 Series.
The 1 series is available in several configurations; a four-door
hatch, two-door hatch, two-door coupe and a convertible (the
latter two to be named the 2 series).
It has a long wheelbase with a short front overhang, the lower
roofline with the typical C-pillar kink and the characteristic
front end with the “kidney” grille and double headlamps.
It has rear-wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive is a significant part
of BMW’s DNA. With rear-wheel, drive the back wheels do the
power delivery, leaving those at the front to get on with
steering. It’s a much more expensive option but the result is
balance. The BMW Series 1 agility and steering precision is
unique in the compact class. It ensures not only sporty and
smooth handling of winding country roads, but also facilitates
effortless urban driving pleasure. This is because - like all
other BMW automobiles - the 1 Series has a front-mounted engine
and rear wheel drive. Even in the tightest of bends there is no
torque steers to be felt, the rear wheels having optimal
traction when transferring the engine’s power onto the tarmac.
Customers will have an immediate choice of four four-cylinder
engines. The models 116i (85 kW / 115 bhp) und 120i (110 kW /
150 bhp) feature further developed and refined BMW petrol
engines. The two diesel versions, the 118d (90 kW / 122 bhp) and
the120d (120 kW / 163 bhp) are equipped with high-torque diesel
engines.
Extensive range of standard safety equipment includes DSC
Dynamic Stability Control, DBC Dynamic Brake Control, Electronic
Differential Lock as well as a complete airbag system comprising
head airbags for all seats, complies with the most stringent
safety requirements. These safety features and an exemplary
protective body structure are the best prerequisites for
achieving five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test.
Optional equipments include convenient keyless access, Bluetooth
mobile interface, sports seats with backrest width adjustment,
acoustic PDC Park Distance Control at the front and the rear,
Bi-Xenon headlights and a choice of high-performance audio and
navigation systems, which can also be operated centrally or by
voice control utilizing the BMW state-of-the-art iDrive
operating concept.
