New details have emerged regarding Munich’s next generation BMW 1-Series. Apparently, the new 1-Series that is expected to hit the market in 2011 will be offered in a four-door sedan (for the US market) as well as a GT version, apart from the coupe, five-door, three-door and convertible variants.
Words are also being exchanged that the new 1-Series will have a 2-seater Roadster in its line up since the recently launched BMW Z4 has grown in size, but who knows? Powerplant wise, there will be a few as expected, but these engines will be treated to BMW’s EfficientDynamics program, meaning turbocharging smaller engines.
Sizes include, a 110HP – 160HP 1.6 litre turbo, a 150 – 200HP 2.0 turbo as well as a top of the line 300HP variant, that is said to be the closest there is for an ‘M’ version, although the auto maker did reveal that there will not be a 1-Series M. The image you see above is a rendering of the new 1-Series made by Giom Mouton.

Relax le bro, I also seen this baby look a bit "Neois" like the side mirror, front bumper, even if u put neo pic & this Baby can see a bit identical on appearence. Ok apa, yang tau bawah hood tu yg penting bagi kebanyakkan orang. 1 a big mitos i have hear before "Big engine came with big power".
Yikes… a damn hot car!
Can't help but to notice combination of 5 and 3 series signature at the front end. Especially the slanted eyes and squashed kidney grille.
But I wanna see some ass! Looking at something as hot won't be satisfying if you can't see the ass…
1 series 4 door sedan? enough space?
i always though 1 series were hatchbacks or coupes.
why do I feel like this BMW design look abit like PROTON SATRIA NEO S2000??
so PROTON transfer technology with BMW senyap2 ar..??
PROTON quality control man is from BMW right?… German engineering coming into PROTON future model car?
this BMW car really remind me of PROTON SATRIA NEO S2000!
Lexus 250 alike~
It looks like a Subaru Impreza
It looks so out of proportion.. So ugly. What's happening to BMW??
to me it doesnt look good at all esp those headlights.the curve up next to the grille doesnt serve any purpose.should've just straighten it out
i like the tire
