Facelift?

I've come across some articles about 1 series getting a facelift soon. It seems the rumour has it that the facelifted version will be revealed in October this month and launched in early 2015.

Can someone with reliable sources confirm this is true?

I'm waiting for my M135i to be delivered in November and I'm now thinking perhaps I should wait for the upgraded version despite of a good deal I got with almost all options.

This is true if you google you will find spy photo's. If you have ordered the 135 you will not be able to cancel. Their are always change coming. In a couple of years the new 1 series will be shown.

I was surprised that the 1er LCI wasn't unveiled at the Paris motor show! Guess there's still no word on when it'll come out...

A BMW dealer told me it would come out March 2015, but I don't know how reliable that information is.

You mean a 1 series with a 2 series front on it, I doubt the facelift will look exactly like that, do you have a list of parts needed to do that?

But do the parts just bolt on? Or do you need something other than a bumper, grills, and headlights?

Okay I want to see an M235i with an M135i front now

No idea, that’s why I asked myself, you will probably find the loom for the lights will need modifying, and you may need some coding?

Yes, never mind the drawing. I just wanted to link an article that confirmed the launch in March 2015.
