The exterior of the BMW 1 Series (five-door).
The BMW 1 Series has character. Its redesigned and enlarged front air inlets allow the engine to breathe deeply. The finishers of the double headlights are more contoured; the optional fog lights are now rectangular and even more distinctly shaped. The entire front mirrors the active and agile lines of the side, giving an impression of elegance and power thanks to the discreet refinements. The dominance of the horizontal lines also lends the rear a more dynamic appearance. The distinct flow of the rear apron continues the lateral lines of the side skirts and is in perfect harmony with the front spoiler.

The four-cylinder petrol enginesin the BMW 116i, 118i and 120i.
On average, you blink about 10 times a minute. In this time, you miss 2,000 separate fuel injections supplying as little as 2 mg of fuel each time. This exceptional level of precision is made possible by the positioning of the piezo injectors which are located centrally between the valves. The engines in the BMW 116i, 118i and 120i with the Auto Start Stop function incorporate this cutting-edge technology allowing the car to operate in lean-burn mode for far longer and at far higher revs. This leads to improved efficiency, which in turn leads to better performance. Better performance from less fuel - what BMW EfficientDynamics is all about.

The four-cylinder diesel engine inthe BMW 116d, 118d, 120d and 123d.
Outstandingly responsive at low revs, BMW's diesel engines offer exceptional torque and performance. With third-generation common rail injection, the diesel engines deliver exceptional performance with unbeatable fuel consumption levels (e.g. up to 150 kW/204 hp capacity and 5.2 l/100 km for the BMW 123d). Thanks to the engine block now being made solely of aluminium, weight is reduced by an enormous 20 kg. Furthermore, the engines are fitted with Brake Energy Regeneration and the Auto Start Stop function as standard, and also come with a particle filter and a fuel guard.

The six-speed transmission in the BMW 1 Series (five-door).Smooth and responsive, the 6-speed manual transmissions in BMW 1 Series models make for dynamic driving at its best. Their standout features are the short-throw shifts, perfect ratios and optimum exploitation of torque. The optional 6-speed automatic transmission Steptronic, which can be operated manually, delivers smooth driving with exceptional reaction speed combining instant power when pulling out and reduced fuel consumption at high speeds.
Active Steering in the BMW 1 Series (five-door).
The optional Active Steering system adjusts the steering ratio to the car's speed - for greater driving comfort, faithful cornering and maximum agility. At low speeds, for example, it requires just two turns of the wheel from lock to lock. At higher speeds, it then increases the steering ratio to guarantee flawless forward progress. Active Steering also countersteers automatically if the BMW 1 Series threatens to skid when cornering or braking.

Rear-wheel drive on the BMW 1 Series (five-door).The rear-wheel drive on the BMW 1 Series imparts dynamic energy to every manoeuvre and plays a significant role in obtaining an ideal body weight distribution. The result? Incomparable agility, excellent handling and precision steering. Or, to put it another way: pure driving pleasure.
The aluminium front axle on the BMW 1 Series (five-door).Vehicles with front-wheel drive tend to have more weight on the front axle than the rear and as a result are liable to suffer from understeer when cornering at speed. Handling becomes difficult and the car tends to slide towards the outside of the bend. For this reason, weight distribution in the BMW 1 Series has been almost perfectly balanced between both axles. This improves handling and is the main reason why it is able to hold its line even in the fastest of bends.
Multi-link rear suspension on the BMW 1 Series (five-door).Contributing significantly to the excellent equilibrium of the BMW 1 Series, the multi-link rear suspension has a complex structure that maximises agility by ensuring that wheel position is always spot on. It lets the BMW 1 Series express its dynamic nature while always ensuring uncompromising passenger comfort.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) on the BMW 1 Series (five-door).
For greater safety and for greater driving pleasure: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), an electronic chassis control system, is a standard feature on the BMW 1 Series. It constantly monitors the behaviour of the chassis and wheels. When it detects the threat of traction loss, it reduces drive power and applies precisely measured braking pressure to individual wheels. Skidding is prevented before it can start, as within milliseconds, the BMW 1 Series is stabilised. At the touch of a button, Dynamic Traction Control can also be activated for extra traction and more surefooted progress on difficult surfaces.
