All-new 2012 BMW 1-series hatchback (official photos)

[AM3]

Well, that's it, that's the next-generation BMW 1 Series hatchback we probably (definitely) won't get. It's a shame, too, because this new 1 Series is more in line with U.S. tastes than before, at least by a little. The new car is 3.3 inches longer, .7 inches wider and has a 1.2 inch longer wheelbase which translates to more rear leg room and trunk capacity. Track is up 2 inches in front and 2.8 inches in the back.

For Europe, engine options will be a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine we've seen in Mini vehicles-- though modified to fit longitudinally-- and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder common rail diesel. Horsepower figures stretch from 136 in a 116i to 184 in the 120d. The 120d is the performer of the group hitting 62 in a BMW claimed 7.2 seconds with a top speed of 142 mph. The 116d is the fuel miser of the group returning 54.7 MPG combined.

The standard transmission is a six-speed manual while an eight-speed automatic will be optional. DCT is rumored to be offered later in the model's lifecycle.

The 1 Series also gets interior adjustments inspired by the look and quality of the 3 series.

2012 BMW 1-Series M package revealed

Launches in March
BMW has released the first pictures of the M Sport package for the 2012 1-Series.

Available in March, the model features an aggressive front fascia, a revised rear bumper and exclusive alloy wheels. Inside, there's a sport steering wheel, M-branded door sills and aluminum trim with blue accents.

Additional information will be announced closer to launch, but don't expect any major performance upgrades.

 The new 1-series is better than the previous design. The m is pretty awesome.

More extreme than the M-Sport package?


The 1-series Performance Studie

First Photos Leaked: BMW F20 1-series Performance Concept

Some days ago, we brought you spyshots of a special F20 1-series. With some help from our resident insider Scott26 we could identify that car as a BMW Performance 1-series.

Today, we're happy to share the first photos of the final car, the "BMW Performance Studie 1-series". BMW apparently showed this car during their dealer presentation taking place in Frankfurt, and three shots magically made it to our inbox. You can see the Performance front and rear bumpers which appear to be even more aggressively styled than the F20 M-Sport front bumper. Also present are the 'love em or hate em' performance stripes and a new Performance wheel in what looks like 19" size. We wouldn't be suprised if this car also had some kind of factory engine tuning or performance enhancements.

BMW will likely release more (and official) information on this car soon, maybe even before or during the Frankfurt IAA next month. Enjoy these first looks in the meantime. Thanks for the pics K!

This BMW 1 Series will receive further front fascia upgrades by means of BMW Parts Air Curtain vents. The Air Curtain is BMW’s latest innovation in aerodynamics that strategically places slits on the corners of the front bumper to funnel air around the front wheels, reducing turbulence and increasing efficiency.

THIS ONE IS MORE HANDSOME BY A MILE VS IT'S PREDECESSOR.

Like most of the BMW accessories range, this is an unattractive car, but that aside, it's another example of BMW doing what they do best. Driver's cars.

Good value as well, even with inflated aussie pricing. Must be super cheap for what it is in normal countries.
