2012 1-Series Sport Line: 16-Inch Wheels, Sports Seats and Unique Interior

(continued from above)

BMW's entry-level 2012 1 Series has achieved maturity, offering an even better balance between sportiness and driving comfort, improved functionality, and numerous driver assistance systems previously available only in higher segments. This is also apparent in its size. The body of the new BMW 1 Series is 3.3 inches (85 millimeters) longer than its predecessor, at 170.2 inches (4,324 millimeters), while the wheelbase has widened by 1.2 inches (30 millimeters) to 105.9 inches (2,690 millimeters). The car also looks more powerful because its overall width has increased by 0.8 inches (17 millimeters) to 69.5 inches (1,765 millimeters) (due to an increase in track of 2 inches (51 millimeters) at the front and 2.8 inches (72 millimeters) at the rear), whereas its height remains unchanged at 55.9 inches (1,421 millimeters). The rear seats have 2 inches (21 millimeters) more legroom, and the luggage compartment has expanded by 30 liters to 360 liters.

All engines in the 2012 BMW 1 Series are four-cylinder models using BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The petrol engines are part of a new generation, combining an impressively sporty feel with exceptionally low fuel consumption and emissions. The 1.6-liter engines have twin-scroll turbochargers, direct injection, VALVETRONIC and Double-VANOS. The new 2012 BMW 116i achieves 136 hp, and the new 2012 BMW 118i 170 hp. These represent increases of 16 hp and 27 hp on the previous versions, with fuel consumption reduced by up to 10 per cent.

Unique to this segment is ConnectedDrive, the 2012 BMW 1 Series' optional package of driver assistance and mobility services. This includes high-beam assistance, Adaptive Headlights, parking assistance, reversing camera, Lane Departure Warning including Collision Warning, cruise control with brake function, and speed-limit and no-passing information. BMW ConnectedDrive also features Internet connectivity, increased smartphone and music player integration, real-time traffic information, and web radio, Facebook and Twitter apps.

2012 BMW 1 Series' Exciting, Elegant, Innovative Design

The drive-train layout, with a longitudinally mounted in-line engine at the front and rear-wheel drive, is unique within the compact segment. This improves the new BMW 1 Series' handling, and is also reflected in its design, with BMW's typical proportions: long bonnet, wide wheelbase, swept-back passenger cell. The 2012 BMW 1 Series is the embodiment of responsiveness and innovative elegance in a compact car, with a youthful, lively design and high-quality features adding to the excitement.

The front of the car is dominated by the large BMW kidney-shaped radiator grille, boldly shaped headlight units and three-section air intake. The grille is tilted forwards, adding emphasis to the challenging stance of this most sporty of compact models, while the surrounding areas catch the light and create a strong sense of three-dimensionality, with four contour lines on the bonnet forming a V that points towards the grille. The typical BMW double-round headlights have accent trim across their tops. In combination with the optional bi-xenon headlights, this creates a strongly focused look, powerfully enhanced by the direction indicators set into the inner light rings of the headlights and an LED accent light. In another innovation for BMW, the side indicator lights are integrated in the exterior mirrors.

The design quality of the 2012 BMW 1 Series, which is unique in the compact segment, is particularly evident in the distinctive BMW lines and dramatically curved surfaces. The characteristic BMW swage line starts at the front sidewall and rises continuously to the rear lights, its boldness giving powerful emphasis to the shoulder area, with the door openers neatly integrated into the swage line.
