Fun sportsman starting from 2009:
After the model of the successful 3er-Familie BMW rigs now the 1er-Reihe. Dreitürer, Coupé and Cabrio start first, 2009 are the more highly positioned Z2 with 1er-Technik and turbo-four-cylinders to follow. Angedacht is a beautiful, compact ripper for four passengers. First sketches point on a car with long hood and short body overhangs. The stylistic proximity to the 1er-Baureihe will show up only in some Design details. A larger kidney, which are to remind rounder front portion and razor-sharp fender handle folds Inge including of the Design of the Z-models. For Europe the new four-cylinder engines with gasoline direct injection are taken into account. Leaned against the technology of the new six cylinder turbo engine it could bring the four-cylinder turbo on up to 210 HP. Without loading approximately 185 HP are to be obtained.
