BMW 1-Series Three-Door

BMW 1-Series Three-Door recently revealed. Actually, there is nothing very shocking when you see the car but when you see the new engine options, there are something new. With the BMW 1-Series Three-Door a new engine will be available, 114i! Yes, this is the lowest number BMW ever placed at the back of its vehicles. Unfortunately, this is not a 1.4-lt engine, it is just 1.6-lt engine with less horsepower. I wish to see that BMW 1-Series Three-Door will be offered with a new 1.4-lt engine instead of horsepower reduced 1.6-lt!

This new 1.6-lt TwinPower Turbo engine in BMW 1-Series Three-Door produces 102 PS of power and 180 nm of torque. And there is a problem, if this engine produces 102 PS of power with TwinPower Turbo what is this engine’s real power output without any turbos!?!

The rest of engines are; petrol 116i (136 PS), 125i (218 PS) and diesel 116d (116 PS), 118d (143 PS), 125d (218 PS).  BMW 1-Series 116d Efficent Dynamics model only produces 99g/km CO2. You will have tax and other advantages with this car.

And lastly, BMW 1-Series will be offered with xDrive all-wheel drive system after November 2012 with BMW M135 xDrive and BMW 120d xDrive models.

Here are the some key features of BMW 1-Series:
