The F20 1-series hatchback's online reveal is imminent - perhaps as early as this week, if not the next. But testing of the model's FEP prototypes continues.

This particular vehicle is the 5-door hatchback variant, which is the basis model of the 1-Series, and just as in the previous generation vehicle, this model will not make its way onto US shores. However, this car will serve as the basis for the entire 1-series lineup (and rumored 2-series lineup - More Info), with a 3-door hatch variant (also not expected in the US), coupe, cabrio, city compact, family activity sports tourer, and GT models (More Info).

BMW M will also have its hands at the new 1-Series and an M version should arrive 2-3 years after the arrival of the hatchback this year. If the rumors are true that the 1-series coupe will indeed be spun off as the 2-series, per sources above, this would mean that the coupe's M version will be named the M2.

The F20 1-series hathback is expected to make its World Premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Autoshow in September. (see: http://www.bimmerpost.com/future-bmw/).
