Best BMW 1-Series Coupe Photos Yet ...
SPY PHOTOS: BMW 1 Series Coupe Best Photos Yet

Ready for Launch
BMW continues to extend its smallest model range, the 1 Series. Having just launched the 1 Series as three door version, here are now latest pictures of the future coupe variant caught during a test drive in the streets of Munich. The prototypes still have some disguise, but the first photo (red car) is showing the car in full showroom trim with some cladding removed by computer. The 1 Series Coupe is due for launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall.
A 1 Series convertible on the same platform will then follow in 2008 to complete the line up. It will have a conventional canvas top. Even further in the future a top of the line M version could be possible. With both, the new coupe and the future convertible, BMW is going to also enter the US market for the first time.

maybe not appropriate for the north american market, but definitely very nice for the european and asian countries.
I see a lot of 1 series and A-class running around outside USA.
So, don't think automatically assume that BMW or Merc should only build big and expensive cars.

Front looks very typical for BMW, but the rear looks cheap - from the angle reminds a previous model of Hyundai Accent or Saturn. However, if one of the trims will have 335's 3.0 twin turbo it's going to be a speed demon.

i think it will be a nice introductory vehicle for BMW. i doubt it will really hurt the 3 series sales. if we do get the twin turbo motor, im 100% set on buying the 3 door hatch. of course i will have to get the M auro package... even if its not brought here, ill have to order it through work. i think its going to be a nice fun car at a great price....(BMW employee pricing!)
