Now that the M550d and X5/X6 M50d have ... CONTINUED

We bring you the very first photos of the F21 135i. We've previously spied a 135i 5-door hatchback (F20), but never the 135i 3-door hatchback (F21) as seen here. In fact, F21 sightings in general have been rare. The F21 is set to be revealed as early as Spring 2012. Expect ... CONTINUED

We've caught BMW's FWD 1-series model based on the FWD UKL platform on video for the first time and the previous silly camo on the tailgate has been dropped, revealing its shape. The UKL platform is BMW's platform which the FWD 1-series GT will share with the next generation of ... CONTINUED

BMW's FWD 1-series model based on the FWD UKL platform has been spotted for the first time! The UKL platform is a FWD platform which the FWD 1-series will share with the next generation of MINIs (which coincidentally [or not] was also spied testing for the first time today). The FWD ... CONTINUED

The F20 1-series hatchback's online reveal is imminent - perhaps as early as this week, if not the next. But testing of the model's FEP prototypes continues. This particular vehicle is the 5-door hatchback variant, which is the basis model of the 1-Series, and just as in the previous ... CONTINUED

We bring you the very first look at the upcoming F20 1-series M-sport front end on a 135i hatchback, and it's undoubtedly the most aggressive M-sport front bumper we've ever seen from BMW, owing to the integration of air curtain bodywork and deeply inset air inlets to direct more airflow ...

The F20 1-series continues its testing rounds, spied for the first time in silver color and the new wheels style in these photos. Not much remains for the imagination, except perhaps the front headlights, which, like all previous F20 prototypes sports camouflage taped in a manner to trick the eyes ... CONTINUED

These are the best close-up photos of the F20 1-series 5-door hatchback yet! Everything can be seen clearly - from the front bumper design, the more upright front fascia and grilles, to the camouflaged headlights purposely taped to trick the eyes into thinking they are larger, and the rear lights ...

This is the first time the F20 has been captured on video in this more advanced camouflage stage. We've already posted many photos, but seeing the car in motion always gives a more lifelike perspective.

BMW gave us a real treat in the Arctic north today! Sure sure, this is another set of pictures of the F20 1-Series hatch, but look closely, there is something new and different here. BMW had previously removed almost all the masking tape from the hood to give us an ... CONTINUED
