The 1 Series wheelbase is four inches shorter than that of the 3 Series, and it’s a significant 2.7 inches narrower in width. The BMW 1 Series is nearly seven inches shorter overall than the 3 Series. They’re available with 6-speed manual or 6-speed Steptronic automatic.Īn M Sport Package adds a sports suspension that favors handling over ride quality. The 2011 BMW 128i Coupe and Convertible continue to be powered by the normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 that generates 230 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy from the 135i even edges that of the 128i, with an EPA-estimated 20/28 mpg City/Highway for a 2011 135i Coupe. (Code-named N55, the 2011 engine replaces last year’s 300-hp twin-turbo inline-6.) The 2011 BMW 135i is also available with a 6-speed manual gearbox, which we found silky smooth and a pleasure to operate. The 2011 BMW 135i benefits from an all-new inline-6 engine, here using a single turbocharger to produce 300 horsepower, and paired with the sporty 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission from the Z4 Roadster. The 2011 BMW 1 Series comes in Coupe and Convertible models in two versions: the BMW 128i and the BMW 135i. Inspiration for the 1 Series came from the BMW 2002 of some 40 years ago (1968-76).
The BMW 1 Series was designed to deliver the sporty dynamics of rear-wheel drive, agile handling, powerful engines and seating for four, all those attributes we’ve come to expect from the Bavarian automaker, in a smaller, less costly package than its other models.
