BMW 1-Series 2-door Coupe to arrive in 2008

The 2-door coupe-version of the BMW 1-Series we’ve been seeing in spyshots and spy videos around the net will be arriving in the US market in 2008, said BMW North America’s CEO Tom Purves. There is also a possibility of a convertible model, which has already been spotted by spies as well, so it’s not a matter of whether the car exists or not, more of where it will be sold.

BMW’s 1-series offering in the USA would most likely be the top of the range models like the 130i, and perhaps a new 135i using that sweet 3.0 liter twin turbocharged engine that was recently crowned Engine of the Year.

    The car will look perfect with 3-series rear lamps. Twin-tail pipes, symmetry is good!

    Some, or maybe a lot of Msians hv no taste at all……

    If I put a BMW badge on a Juara n claimed it IS BMW n I’m nt joking, I bet most of u will claim it to be sweet, beautiful, cool, blablabla.

    ==my goodness, your claim is pointless. did u see a BMW look like van before? take other example ie. naza sorento please. but not juara. i believe not the taste, is the view.
