Join us in making history! Yes, the long awaited compact hatchback will be on sale in the spring of 2008 at Performance BMW in Chapel Hill, North Carolina!

The 1 Series will boast of raw power, agility and pleasant driving experience on the lines of the legendary BMW 2002. The 1 Series will be the two-door coupe, available in two versions; the 128i and the 135i. Powered by a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline six-cylinder engine that will generate 200 lb-ft of torque, the 128i Coupe will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum/magnesium construction-core elements of BMW's efficient dynamics. The powerful 135i Coupe will feature BMW's twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter inline six cylinder engine that will produce 300 horsepower and an incredible 300 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1,400 rpm. Both engines will feature on-demand engine coolant pumps that will improve fuel economy and reduce parasitic losses for increased output.

The long-wheelbase and short overhangs will emphasize the 1 Series' bulldog stance. The 1 Series looks gorgeous when fitted with optional wheels that completely fill the fenders. As far the interiors, the usual audio and communication options, including satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity are available. In addition, a USB port for controlling an iPod or iPhone is an option. The cabin will prove out to be the snug place to relax. The car's look will make heads turn. In other words, 1 Series is pure BMW.
