Default 1-Series Coupe Interior Photos Leaked ...


27th February, 2007 by Warren M


These photos of the forthcoming 1-Series Coupe’s interior have surfaced on the 2Addicts forum. They appear to be scans from an official brochure.

Someone’s going to be in trouble…

BMW has so many brochure "leaks." I believe a few of them were put out on purpose by BMW. I wouldn't be surprised if these were from BMW themselves too. You'd think if someone was gonna leak an official brochure, they'd leak shots that were more useful, like exterior shots.

Give me the Mazda 3, or maybe even Cobalt.

Looks like the current one but LHD instead. On par with a Corolla or Civic, not bad.

Well it certainly looks "BMW-ish" inside. They should have went with black/gray to match the silver paint and the brushed aluminum accents. That salmon color looks nasty.

That salmon color is actually the popular terracotta color that BMW offers across the line. Lovely in person

The twin turbo I6 makes 300HP and torque?
I'm gonna expect alot of these to be crashing into trees.
