Over the weekend,
the all new 1-Series was released, and typical for a new BMW release, there has been alot of conversation and controversy over the styling.
BMW has gone ahead and put up this single picture of the M-Sport to tantalize us until the full wallpapers are released.
Probably the most striking feature of the M-Sport 1er will be the addition of
Estoril Blue Metallic as a new color option. This will not be available on non M-Sport equiped vehicles.
The M-Sport package consists of all new bumpers and sills with new M light alloy wheels in either 17" or 18". The chrome trim is replaced by high-gloss Shadow Line trim.
On the interior, the M-Sport package includes some typical and some new elements. Equipment includes an M leather multifunction steering wheel, nappa leather clad e-brake handle and gear shifter. The trim is redone in an "Aluminum Hexagon" with blue accents. Sport seats carry over the hexagon theme with a combination of Hexagon fabric and Alcantara. You can always alternativly go with the standard leather coverings that come as part of the Sport Line package.
* Sorry guys, I know the pictures are small, hopefully we get the full release soon!
New Commercials and Short Film
BMW has also put out the next phase in their 2Originals tie in to the release of the new 1-Series, with a short TV commercial and an associated Short Film. Both good for seeing the new 1-Series in living motion to give beter perspective on the new design.
