2019 3rd Generation BMW 1 Series (F40)

[No_worries]

I find that both the front and rear of the vehicle was designed by 2 different architects. The rear looks very good but the front face especially the kidney grille just looks too big , in some angles, looks like a drowned gold fish

2020 BMW 1 Series Styling Explained By Head Of Design

 

 

To help walk us through the new car, BMW’s Head of Design Domagoj Dukec took to Facebook with an in-depth tour of the compact from front-to-back. Naturally, it starts with a larger Kidney Grille up front that brings the car more in line with BMW’s other offerings. The headlights are mounted a bit higher to also reflect BMW’s current design language, and in top-tier M135i trim, the front fascia is a bit more muscular as well.

 

Along the side, a new character line running beneath the door handles gives the car a bit more visual punch, while the rear has sharper lines with the L-shaped taillights as and an aggressive lower fascia. And by switching to a front-wheel-drive platform, the 1 Series gains a bit of interior space while actually shrinking slightly out on the outside.

 

Interestingly, Dukec talks at-length about the platform shift to front-wheel drive. He concedes that customers in the entry-level segment weren’t particularly interested in having a rear-wheel-drive runabout, but he also states that modern technology allows for a front-driven 1 Series to have higher levels of performance. To that end, the new 1 Series does offer a range-topping 2.0-liter turbocharged mill generating 302 horsepower (225 kilowatts) that goes to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. If that sounds familiar, it should – the Mercedes-AMG A35 also sports a boosted 2.0-liter mill with the exact same power, turning all four wheels. Coincidence? Not likely.

 

Whether or not buyers respond positively to the new 1 Series remains to be seen, but it’s clear BMW is hoping to capture sales from both Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

TaIk about pushing price up. I still feel kinda like goondu lor, go for the bigger engine which pushed 1 series (F20) price up to nearly 520i level. Pay near 520i price but get low rent interior. Everytime see the full decked out leather in the 3/5 series like so comfortable after staring at my budget shoebox interior.
