  • BMW 1 Series Hatch

    BMW has unveiled the 2007/2008 BMW 1-Series three-door hatchback. The new car goes on sale this spring, and will be offered with five engine choices in Europe. It's not known if the three-door model will be offered in the United States, but coupe and convertible variants are expected in America in the coming years.

    Technologies such as Brake Energy Regeneration, Automatic Start-Stop function, Electric Power Steering, lower rolling resistant tires, variable valve technologies, and High-Precision Direct Injection cut fuel consumption and emissions.

    Model choices include the 130i model, with a 265 horsepower inline-six and a zero to 62 mph time of 6.0 seconds; the 120i with a 170 horsepower four-cylinder engine and a zero to 62 mph time of 7.7 seconds; the 118i with a 143 horsepower four-cylinder engine and a zero to 62 mph time of 8.7 seconds; the 120d with a 177 horsepower common-rail diesel engine and a zero to 62 mph time of 7.5 seconds; and the 118d with a 143 horsepower common-rail diesel engine and a zero to 62 mph time of 8.9 seconds.

            i agree. the coupe for sure. i was also begining to think i was the only guy who liked the 318ti's!! weak power indeed. needs the inline 6. probably would have sold a ton more.
            you probably don't like me because someone else said they didn't lol. <3

                      Latest rumor is that in early 2008 (about a year) we will be getting the 130i and 135i 2 door hatches to compete with the GTI. Yes you heard me the, 6 cylinder turbo from the 335 will be going in this small car to sell for between Mini and 3 series prices, this could get very interesting!!!

                          Read today that its confirmed, north america will get the i135 with the twin turbo V6 in 2008

                          Hopefully BMW ups the specs on the engine a bit too, as it is capable of more I think.

                          Being more expensive than the mini kind of sucks though, the mini isn't that cheap...

                            Ya i wonder how much more? If we're talking ~42-45k range than one of these could be my next car for sure! Anything above that and you could get into something fast with a little more practicability

                              I think low 40s is bang on for this car and it will be a smaller hatch with 306hp!! Could also push the GTI to go for more power too
