There is something wrong with the new 2012 BMW 1-Series. Just a day after the car has been revealed and the M Sport package is already on its way.

The ///M Sport package consists of a new front bumper, revised rear bumper and big alloy wheels. The interior boasts a sport steering wheel, door sill with ///M logo and some aluminum trim with blue accents.
There is no information about the price list, but it won’t be cheap. Still, it is a kind of improvement for new the bland 1-Series.
We are eager to see, how the fans will respond to the bold design, which has nothing in common with the aggressive cars designed by Chris Bangle.
