                        The 1 Series something new for BMW although small hatchbacks represent a well practiced concept among 'economical' carmakers. Tidy, sleek and robust yet modest; the BMW 1 will soon be released in major markets. The base model, the 116i will sport a 1.6 litre, in-line four motor of 85kW capable of 0-100km/h in 10.8 seconds.
