Potential for dual exhausts

Is it just me or did this thing grow?

I'm digging the psychodelic paint scheme. Like groovy, and far out man!

pit1 · 05-28-2009, 11:04 AM

tough to tell size perspective with that awesome wrap...but could that be X1? Just looks too big

The Priority 1 options have gotten way out of hand.

Hoping they see the light and offer the hatch in the US this time.

Jebus, what's with this sudden mass-updating of cars?? Didn't BMW usually not update stuff for like 6-7 years?

Hopefully with the coupe and convertible success they will.

bdardashti · 05-28-2009, 11:30 AM

They did, and they still do, but the 1er came out as a 2004 model, so 2004+7 = 2011. They'll need a new one for 2011.

Or perhaps a new one will be released in 2011 as MY2012.

That's what I thought at first, but then noticed a couple 1er factors about it...

1) The roof line is too low for a X1 and starts to slope down a little too close to the middle of the car to be a X1.

2) The antenna is an actual antenna like the current 1er, and not the shark fin as noticed in the X1 pics or other Bimmers..

Lionel Hutz · 05-28-2009, 11:35 AM

Do want.

IndyMike · 05-28-2009, 11:35 AM

Even if it were offered here in NA, would anyone really be interested in it? Hard to tell I know with all that camouflage on, but at this stage it looks as exciting as the X3, X5 & X6 trucklets to me, which is to say "Not"!

Jumpman · 05-28-2009, 12:01 PM

Why is it assumed to be a 1-series? A 1-series hatch needs to be 3-door, not 5. That thing is just too big.

Uhh what?

There are 5 door versions of the current 1 series hatchback in europe. This is the next 1 series 5 door hatchback no doubt.

The rear view looks great with the wide looking shoulders!

Jumpman · 05-28-2009, 12:11 PM

That's a shame. It looks terrible

How can you see the Design in this Status

? Its full camo... there 2 long Years till they get it on the Market. It looks quite good to me, i see on of these on the Roads in Munich, and yes its bigger then the old 5 door Hatch (i stand with mine next to him...)

AntonV · 05-28-2009, 01:42 PM

Personally, I hope they stop production and don't make a new version of the 1. Wouldn't mind a little rarity.

skoot3r · 05-28-2009, 01:51 PM

mMmm... I hope the 1m is a hatchback

Upgrade+ · 05-28-2009, 01:52 PM

Judging by the front, it looks like it will share that new angular hood/front fascia as the 3series. Should look agressive. I wonder if the 135i will have the new N55 single turbo inline 6 that's coming out?

How much bigger would you say? Significant or just slightly?
