An all-new BMW 1 Series is coming soon with some radical changes. Here's what we know so far... IOLMotoring
Munich - BMW is getting ready to pull the covers off its all-new 1 Series hatchback and this new set of teaser pictures, posted on Facebook and Twitter, give us a clearer picture of how it will look on the outside and inside.
While the styling is fresher and the cabin fully digitised, the most radical changes occur beneath the skin. BMW has already confirmed that the 1 Series will move over to its ULK front-wheel-drive platform that also underpins the Mini range as well as the X1, X2 and 2 Series Active Tourer. It should carry over with similar 1.5-litre three-cylinder and 2-litre four-cylinder turbopetrol engines, of course now mounted transversely rather than longitudinally.
While the majority of the line-up will be front-wheel-driven, range-toppers like the M135i will offer all-wheel-drive.
