1-series demand in US and Concept 1-series tii with 340 HP
 

Almost 1 million people have signed up for updates on 1-series at bmwusa.com. Dealers are getting deposits like crazy. The first few months production will be sold out soon at this rate. After procede and other tune-ups and all it will be better than 335 in 0-60.
The New 1

When will the diesel be here?

My brother will be picking one of these up, cant wait to check it out

Im on the actual order list, and have been for about a month now!

:iagree:

Who needs another series, well I guess when you're jacking your prices up you need to make a new entry level ride :rofl:

I agree its a cool little car, which appeals to anyone wanting a lighter more nible car than the current e90, but the rear end looks wack.........

The shape of the E92 just looks more elegant....

that sounds bleak to get this car at launch, i really want to ED it too!

there "ten a penny" over here in the UK. I've had 2 and I wouldn't rate them.

You had the hatchback. But this is the coupe version with same engine as 335.

yes I know but it will still have the same issues and

interior space/ styling / seating position - problems.

fugly, reminds me of the fugly e36 318i from early 90's

the 1 series is great and I think it's gonna be something in US!

Was in Cabo San Lucas this past week and as we were walking thru town, a white 1-series sedan slowly drove past us. I am not a big fan of the hatch-look, but it was pretty cool to see one.

You mean hatchback, not sedan.

OK, I wasn't sure if they were calling it a hatchback or not.

Hey, is that a game up at the top of this page and if so, what system is it on??

i think i gizzed in my pants when i saw this concept pics :)
let year 001 begin....

That tii is the shit, I love carbon fiber diffusors and the alcantara interior is amazing, along with my brother I may be getting one of these

Additional confirmation that tii will have 340HP to my post # 21. This may be the new M1!:thumbup:

BMW’s Concept 1-series tii has been causing a bit of a stir of late, with word getting out it’s housing a more powerful version of the 335i’s 3.0L twin turbo. The rumor comes from a group of German journalists who have apparently driven the car. With the U.S. introduction of the 1-series just around the corner, it makes sense for BMW to test more powerful versions and expand the limited range of models coming to the world’s biggest car market. Currently, only the 125i and 135i are scheduled to go on sale in the States.

Interestingly, the engine is said to be tweaked to produce 340hp, up from the original 306hp, suggesting it may be the basis for a possible hardcore version, according to the guys from AutoBild. A car as potent and light as this could easily blitz the competition, as its RWD setup will give it the precision and control not possible in most of its rivals due to their FWD or AWD powertrains.

The concept also featured a fully aerodynamically tuned bodykit and plenty of carbon-fiber to keep weight down and strength up. The carbon-fiber roof, as seen on the concept, could also become a trademark of BMW’s high-performance coupes.

One thing about BMW is that most of its concept vehicles usually end up in production either as is or with very few modifications, however with this one BMW will have to tread carefully as it could turn out to be a possible M3-killer. Production plans may not be concrete yet, although we certainly hope BMW goes ahead with it.
