2012 BMW 1-Series will hit the UK market on 17 September 2011, with a choice of three diesel and two petrol engines. The price tag is £19 375 otr for a BMW 116i ES. This is the second generation 1-Series as the first had huge success all over the world.
However, this is a completely different car featuring a unique and rewarding combination of agile, precise handling, improved aesthetics and innovative technology.
As we speaking for technology, the new 1-Series will be available with the superb 116d EfficientDynamics, which breaks the 100g/km mark.
2012 BMW 1-Series remains the only rear-wheel drive car in its class and with its highly powerful and efficient TwinPower petrol and diesel engines, offers a sporty but fuel-efficient proposition boosted by BMW’s EfficientDynamics technologies fitted as standard.
The previous generation BMW 1 Series has had enormous success selling more than 2.2 million units globally, as well as being the first car in the premium compact segment.
