Welcome back: New BMW 1 Series places the model back on the radar

New BMW 1 Series


By: Guilherme Marques

The new BMW 1 Series redefines design and driving pleasure, introducing what many consider the most beautiful 1 Series yet

The fourth generation of the BMW 1 Series has just arrived on the market and with two very important qualities: the first is that this is the most beautiful 1 Series ever; the second is that the German engineers have remembered where they left the magic dust of driving pleasure and have sprinkled it generously over the new model.  

At the top of the range is the M135, with a 300-horsepower, 2-litre turbo engine that can hit 100km/h in just 4.9 seconds.  

The new seven-ratio, dual-clutch transmission replaces the old automatic gearbox and is one of the reasons, along with improved steering feedback and fine tuning of the chassis, why driving the 1 Series is once again a pleasure. 

The quality of the interior is impressive, highlighting the huge leap that the model has made over its predecessor 

The combination of materials works perfectly, and the 10.7-inch and 10.25-inch screens house the latest version of iDrive, perhaps the best infotainment system in the industry.  

The driving position is great, and the practicality of the five-door hatchback configuration makes it a very valid option for those who do not want to succumb to the SUV craze.
