BMW’s smallest model, the Series 1, has been on the market since 2004. Now the Bavarian car maker is preparing a first restyling of the Series 1, due for launch at next spring’s Geneva Motor Show.
At the same time the Series 1 will come on the market as an additional three door variant. Finally – in autumn 2007 – BMW will extend the model range even with a coupe, the matching convertible of which is to follow even later in 2008.
The pictures are showing prototypes of the new three-door as well as the four door, both featuring the restyling.
There are changes at the front end including bumpers, grille and headlights, as well as taillights and bumper at the rear end.

Yeah, but on that side view the rear lights look a bit darker, makes it look more aggressive. Front headlights look a bit different also.

Well, it needs it - although having seen those photos I think something more...drastic is called for.

I dont know what everyones going on about the bangle-w's are pretty good looking, the 6 was the ugliest thing ever to hit the planet, but the rest are ok. the 1 i love but it sucks, but the only major car company in the world that would try putting rwd in a small car is bmw. And i can see the differences, try harder.

no, its really ridiculous, sorry to spoil your love with BMWs, but its really ridicuslous, that 6 series, is facelifted, not much and even maybe nothing more than one thing has been changed...

Well, to my mind, the 6 is the prettiest car to come out of BMW in recent years.
@ Robbie, a facelift (it needs). Badly.

Wow. They've uglified a BMW van into something even more hideous.
Back angle looks alrigh though. Too many creases down the sides though.
car lover !!

I know that BMW are great in RWD but they shouldn't really make a facelifted version of this 1 series anymore . I don't really like the idea and I would get a Cooper S instead of this 120i .
I don't understand whats the point of facelift .
Robbie
Nov 19, 2006, 10:16 AM
well if they made the mini RWD...that would be fun as hell...
Tom Kristensen
Nov 19, 2006, 10:29 AM
Bah, I thought they had already made the 3-door version of it. Anyway, I posted some spy pictures of the Coupé a while ago. Trust me, it ain't nice. The Cabrio is probably gonna be fun though. Fun but ugly.

Have you noticed aston martin arnt even on the top 20 list on rsportscars.com.. i wouldnt even but in if i were u...
that top 20 is all opinionated, my friend... an opinion means nothing... if it were all facts, i guarantee there would be a couple of Aston Martins there. also, how am i butting in..? im giving my POV on the car?... you are butting in by saying i am.. so dont butt in :)

Um, no it's not. It's not a bad looking car but one of the best looking cars EVER? Read Ravenous' signature because I can't be bothered typing it out again:p.

Because rsportscar.com's list isn't opinionated? No top 20 list is ever going to be the same. Mine will be different to yours, obviously. And who the hell do you think you are telling someone not to 'butt' in on a public forum?

Now that would be awesome! And yes, I would choose a MINI over the 1-series...

Aston Martins are amazing except for when racing a porsche (i still like astons better), a 6's wheels look small, but when their open they "grow"
