The typical BMW drive concept, powerful engines, high-grade equipment and experience of sheer driving fun offer a new and unique alternative in 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 2 series). It has a long wheelbase with a short front overhang, lower roofline with typical C-pillar kink and characteristic front end with "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 back wheels do power delivery, leaving those at front to get on with steering. It’s a much more expensive option but result is balance. The BMW Series 1 agility and steering precision is unique in 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 - 1 Series has a front-mounted engine and rear wheel drive. Even in tightest of bends there is no torque steers to be felt, rear wheels having optimal traction when transferring engine's power onto 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, 118d (90 kW / 122 bhp) and the120d (120 kW / 163 bhp) are equipped with high-torque diesel engines.
