EfficientDynamics
Both new variants of the BMW 1 Series Coupé come as standard with a wide range of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies such as
Brake Energy Regeneration, an
Auto Start Stop function, a gearshift
point indicator and
ancillary units with on-demand management and control.
BMW 1 Series Lifestyle and Sport Editions
The new Lifestyle and Sport Edition Models add further class and style. The Edition Models excel in particular through particularly attractive, high-quality and carefully matched features and equipment, and are available on all engine variants of the three-door and five-door.
The Lifestyle Edition exudes stylish extravagance both on the exterior and in the interior of the BMW 1er, highlighted by body paintwork in exclusive
Marrakesh Brown Metallic including additional components in body colour and
chrome-plated tailpipes as well as
exclusive light-alloy rims in five-spoke design.
All models come with 17-inch wheels.
On the five-door the exterior is rounded off by the car’s special finish on the window shaft covers and side window surrounds in
Shadow Line, on the three-door in
Chrome Line. Chrome entry trim proudly bearing the name “
BMW Edition“, a
leather sports steering wheel with multifunction buttons, and
roof lining in anthracite colour provide a particular touch of modern elegance within the interior.
The exclusivity of the Lifestyle Edition is highlighted to an even higher level of perfection by the interior colour scheme matched to the colour of the paintwork. Features include
interior trim in high-gloss Marrakesh Brown as well as
door panels and seat upholstery in Magma Brown. And as an alternative to Network cloth upholstery there is also the choice of Pearlpoint upholstery with Magma Brown cloth / leather.
The exterior and interior features are also carefully matched to one another on the Sport Edition Model, giving the BMW 1 Series particularly dynamic and powerful character. The
Edition Models come as standard with the M Sports Package including the M Aerodynamics Package, a sports suspension set-up as well as 17-inch light-alloy wheels in dual-spoke design. The BMW 130i and BMW 123d feature 18-inch light-alloy wheels in Ferric Grey paintwork available as an option also on the other model variants. Exclusive Blackline rear lights, exterior features in body colour, Shadow Line on the window shaft covers and side window surrounds, foglamps and chrome-plated tailpipes on the exhaust round off the striking look of the exterior.
The sporting and exclusive flair of the interior is highlighted by
chrome-plated entry trim bearing the name “BMW Edition“, stainless-steel pedals, an M footrest, an M sports steering wheel, an M gearshift lever complete with its gaiter made of soft nappa leather, interior trim in Aluminium Glacier Silver and roof lining in anthracite colour. As yet a further highlight the BMW 1 Series Sport Edition comes with sports seats for the driver and front passenger in a combination of cloth and Sensatec featuring
blue ornamental stitching around the seat bottoms and headrests. And to provide the final touch the
footmats are adorned by blue piping.
In conjunction with one of the navigation systems available as an option the
BMW 1 Series proudly boasts the new generation of BMW iDrive electronic vehicle management. Entering the 2010 model year, the BMW 1 Series furthermore comes as an option with a new version of the Business navigation system, its new control concept allowing even easier and more precise control through iDrive featuring direct choice and favourite buttons.
The new Control Display with 800 x 480 pixel image resolution ensures detailed presentation of maps in two dimensions or in a perspective view, complete with integrated arrow graphics. Storage of navigation data installed within the car serves to provide even faster access to the system. And last but not least, the audio unit included within the new control system comes complete with a CD player.
