2012 1 series

[Harold Wood]

I see BMW Blogg have an article on the 2012 1 series, does Scott know if it is going to be a radical design or something close to the present one.
Also working for the best BMW dealer near to the London Olympic site I cant wait for 2012 for all these new models!
( If BMW are reading this I am available for Olympic driving duties!!!)

Wow. The second pic - the front looks like a 7-series and the butt looks like a Subaru....

Those are just renders, it looks like the F10 5 series front with the 1 series hatch.

The next gen won't be as early as 2012 either.

Yes you are right they are renders,the top one just took an hour this morning
( I am trying to calm my nerves before going off to Wembley stadium to see a big soccer game!). Where did you get the information on when we shall see the next generation 1 series?

[MarkR171]

I don't have any information, but the fact that they are building a M1/135is and currently testing it makes me think the current body style will be around for at least 2-3 more years before anything new comes out.

Did you do those renders?

[Harold Wood]

Yes , with basic Photoshop (free with a Bamboo tablet) and free software Gimp.

I like the look of the hatchback.

I would def be interested in a M1 designed 3 door hatchback if they could find it in their hearts to do so. I love my 135, but if I could have exactly what I have now with a hatchback design and still have the near 50/50 weight and everything else, that would equal complete happiness.
