photoshops+details: 2011 BMW 1-Series
Following a mid-cycle facelift performed in 2007, the next generation BMW 1-Series is due to arrive in 2011. Prototype mules using the current 1-Series body (E87) have already been spotted testing around Germany and as a result artist renderings are starting to fill the speculative void.
Despite the early stage of testing, some details have been revealed. According to AutoBild, who spoke to BMW's product development chief, Klaus Draeger, BMW is keeping to the recent philosophy of fast developing new segments. Although a decision has not been made yet, the new 1-Series lineup may feature a type of elongated shooting-brake two-door wagon/ hatch variant. Such a variant, which can accommodate adult size rear passengers unlike the current 1-Series, would allow BMW to offer it to the US market. The existing BMW and PSA Group alliance which already produces engines for MINI would build engines ranging from 1.4 liters to 3.0 liters for the 1-Series. Turbos are most certainly on the list, but an M version of the 1-Series is out of the question again for pics the links: http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090105....1-bmw-1-series http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090105....1-bmw-1-series Last edited by kinan_sleiman2006; 01-06-2009 at 03:36 AM.. |

Lousy photo chops. not even close.
The two horizontal creases on the sides are a give away. BMW only ever uses one. The same PS idiot must have done the 6 series chops too. If they studied BMW design, they would know certain elements never change.

I think it will help differentiate the 1 series from the 3. Up until now a lot of people attack 1 owners saying it is over-priced and less luxurious not to mention uglier. There is definitely a snickering attitude from other BMW owners and it sucks because I probably won't ever buy one because of that.

Aside from the Photochop, the smaller headlights and extended cabin in the wagon/hatchback make the 1-series look better and more proportional. The current one looks like a Willy Wonka midget.

Meh, car won't look close to that in production. Having said that, I like this rear with the hatchback.
