Fingers crossed they are changing the horrid lights. Worst design decision made at BMW in a long time. Does that make me a 'hater'? I suppose it does, I hate the current lights. It stopped me from buying one, so for me at least this is good news. Look forward to seeing the reveal.

I think it is more likely to be the 1er sport sedan/coupe front being tested on an existing F20 body.
If you look carefully the outline is very similar to the coupe//sport sedan below |

It does seem far too soon. Won't be pleasing to those of us whose cars will depreciate on release of the early facelift....Having said that, I'm rather fond of the current front lights.

Maybe they stopped being so idiosyncratic in design and pulled their heads out of their behinds? Having seen the marvellous 4 concept I can even believe they start to listen again to their dominant customers opinions and not only a virtual Asian market? |

When this is FWD testing and nothing else, why is the tape cladding on the front then? Are they going to bring the current front bumper and lights for RWD and a modified version for the FWD then? So we'll have two designs for the 1-serie depending where the driveshafts is directing to? |

I really hate to burst your bubble mate, but dealers don't really know much at all. I've known more about the cars at dealerships I've been to than the dealers themselves. They will also lie thought their teeth to sell an old model when they know facelifts are coming out.

Personally I think to not change the look in 2013 would be nothing short of automotive suicide. I am a Beemer fanboy and I will admitt that in this segment and without a facelift the combination of the new golf, new A class and Volvo V40 will kill sales of the f20. While this may be unfair as In my opinion the 1 series has the best interior, best handling and sportiest looks (with M Kit), I think they have to react. |
