Latest Information on BMW 1 Series
The worldwide 1 Series launch took place in Autumn of 2004 and shares many structural elements with the 3 Series sedan. Initially launched as a five-door hatchback, a three-door version was launched in July 2007 as well. The 1 Series was created to make BMW ownership more accessible, as the 3 Series was getting a little pricey. From a design and technological perspective, the latest BMW 1 Series is now approaching the more premium models in BMW’s range. Recently facelifted, it’s better-looking than ever. In this segment, it’s the only car that’s rear-wheel driven, giving it a distinct edge over its rivals where dynamism is concerned.
