The BMW 1-Series 5-door hatch and recently unveiled 3-door hatch will soon be joined by a 2-door coupe sibling, as seen in these spyshots. It will make it’s debut together with the US introduction of the 1-Series, which will be in coupe and 6-cylinder form. I’m guessing the more high powered models like the 130i and a possible upcoming 135i/135ti powered by the amazing 306hp N54 3.0 litre twin turbo.
There’ll also be a convertible model of the 1-Series based on the coupe body-shape, which is viewed by some to be a production version of the BMW CS1 Concept. A video of the 1-Series Cabriolet going around the Nurburgring track has been recorded. View it by clicking the link in the related posts below.

Interesting to see how BMW can turn a FROG into a PRINCE. CAN They?
Dunno later will having 1 series c+c or not..
then will be great… haha…
what in the world is that….i think that guy feel very shy of what he driving.
the short rear end reminds me of the 3 series compacts.
The 1 series should have started out being a 2 door fastback or coupe. In its current form the back doors are pointless because only midgets can get comfortable in there.
that guy is ugly
Maybe they should shorten the rear overhang and make a notchback, would be interesting, I've always wondered how BMW notchbacks would look like, with the already short front overhangs; then you'll have the wheels at extreme ends of the car.
the 1 is definately Urghlyyyyyy! The (urgliest) Frog of the decade!
but the 1 Cabrio is a head turner! this coupe should look nice too bcoz of it boot! it would be as ugly as before if without boot due to long hood!
reminds me of a classy old 3 series with a strong shoulder line, and nothing is overly exegerated,
not bad.

HEY!
hey! duh BMW 1 series back reminds me of audi A8…..weird huh!3.o liter for this car?! catastophy!
kei9, the 130i, 1 series with a 3.0 litre engine, making 265hp has been recognised by the worlds press as one of the best driving cars in a long time…
bmw has always had class leading weight distribution, a fantastic chassic, great vehicle dynamics… if anyone can fit a 3.0litre engine into this car, bmw can do it.
The front part is too old look.
hope BMW facelift the front though… then I'm sure that it will look nice.
I think it looks good, but the Audi A3 looks sweet too.
