The BMW 1 series appeared in the model range of the brand in 2004. They are manufactured in Germany, at the company’s plants in Leipzig and Regensburg. The model is very popular, in 2008 its sales made up 20% of the total sales of the company. It is easy to explain such a high demand: it is a compact car with stylish appearance and low levels of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The History of the BMW 1 series
The debut of the five-door hatchback E87 took place at the International Paris Motor Show (Le Mondial de l'automobile de Paris) in autumn 2004. The company made a concept of the electric car ActivE based on the E82 coupe (the representative of the next generation) and introduced it in 2010.
In 2011, at the International Frankfurt Motor Show (Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung), the five-door BMW 1 series hatchback, the F20, was presented. Some versions were all-wheel drive.
Overall, by 2017 two generations of the model and three facelifts had been made. In 2017, the BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd company (a joint venture between BMW and Brilliance Auto) started to produce 1 series saloon, the F52. The car is manufactured in China and is available only on the China market.
The Features of the BMW 1 series (F20)
The debut of the updated version of the second generation, the F20, took place in spring 2015, at the Geneva Motor Show (Internationaler Auto-Salon Genf). This five-door hatchback is characterised by wide radiator grilles and large LED headlights. The designer revised the shape of the fifth door, due to that the rear part of the car started to look more sophisticated.
As a result of the facelift, these models of the 1 series gained an updated interior and improved equipment. Thus, the base trim of the car includes a leather steering wheel trim, two-zone climate control, Parktronic. Moreover, the basic specification also includes the Radio Professional multimedia system and the iDrive control system fitted with a 6.5-inch display.
