2007 Geneva debut

BMW’s smallest model, the Series 1, has been on the market since 2004. Now the Bavarian car maker is preparing a first restyling of the Series 1, due for launch at next spring’s Geneva Motor Show.

At the same time the Series 1 will come on the market as an additional three door variant. Finally – in autumn 2007 – BMW will extend the model range even with a coupe, the matching convertible of which is to follow even later in 2008.

The pictures are showing prototypes of the new three-door as well as the four door, both featuring the restyling.

There are changes at the front end including bumpers, grille and headlights, as well as taillights and bumper at the rear end.

1 series needs a new face, not a facelift. So does 5 series. But I won't mind 135i tho.
