Interesting, but this is the pre-facelift 1 series. The face-lifted one comes with a Z4ish front kit.

I think this car would be great. It would be a competitor of the A3. It would be awesome if they put the twin turbos in it. Wait, what am I saying, no matter what, BMW will put the twin turbos in this car.

Only thing is, this car isn't slated for the states yet. The driver didnt look too happy when he saw my camera. I have a picture of the side profile, the car looks great. And with the 335 engine... wow it would be hot

i think it's just a matter of time before they import this. the coupe got everyone's attention, now this will appeal to the more practical folks.

The only way that we'll see a 'hatch' version of the 1-series is if they equip them with far less capable/expensive engines than the coupe.

I just don't see the typical U.S. BMW buyer buying one of these for 35 to 45k...

This is probably little more than a test mule of some sort.

I didnt know that they make a Mexican spec 1 series. Well that makes sense then. What intrigued me the most was the fact that the emblems were covered in tape. In any case, BMW should definitely think about bringing the car to the states.

This would be awesome. I'd love it if the 135i FIVE-door hatch came here, because it would prompt others to bring hot hatches here--like the hot Audi S3 and the Ford Focus ST!

Guys from DesignWorksUSA (BMW owned design studio) drive the 1er hatch. It was designed there.

I love it! Many car people say that reliability is bad with BMW but it still is a nice package.
