Spirited elegance is the hallmark of the BMW 1 Series (3-Door) and its sculpted design is an expression of its sporty heritage. Powerful engines provide sheer dynamism. Take your pick from petrol versions, ranging from the BMW 114i to the BMW M135i, or diesel engines, from the BMW 114d to the BMW 125d. Whichever you decide on, you will benefit from an unrivalled drivetrain in the compact class and thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics, a suite of technologies that reduce fuel consumption and emissions while boosting performance.

The BMW 1 Series (5-door) offers superior handling and agility for up to four passengers. The athletic lines and powerful contours are guaranteed to stand out, but as a 5-door model this is also a practical option. It is one of the few hatchbacks in the compact class to offer two rear seats and useful storage options in the centre, which can be replaced by a third seat if required. In addition, the 120d xDrive becomes the first BMW 1 Series in the UK to have xDrive, BMW's all-wheel-drive system.

For a sleeker, sportier feel, the clean lines of the BMW 1 Series Coupé will set pulses racing. Its uncompromising curves and compact rear underline the car’s sporting nature. As soon as the powerful engines are unleashed, drivers will experience the sheer, concentrated exhilaration of this stunning car. Those looking for unadulterated excitement will be drawn to the BMW 135i M Sport, a straight six-cylinder petrol engine with single TwinScroll turbo.

Your journey in the BMW 1 Series Convertible begins as soon as you press a button and the soft-top folds back in just 22 seconds to reveal the sky above. Thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics technologies all BMW convertibles are economical and drivers will find that even our diesel engines are quiet. So when the top’s down, they can just sit back and enjoy the drive.

The BMW ActiveE marks the beginning of a new era of mobility.

The powerful and resilient high-voltage battery supplies the high-torque electric motor and brake energy is reused. Yet despite the pioneering engineering, the BMW ActiveE was developed on the basis of the BMW 1 Series Coupé, so is entirely practical, reliable and suitable for everyday use.
