The new generation will initially be available in 3 and 5 doors before leaving the next coupe and convertible and a few other surprises we'll talk.

Serie1 this BMW will use the new modular platform developed by BMW, which will serie1 many variants of that ... but not serie1 2012 should therefore have a longer wheelbase a few inches to the livability and wider lanes for better stability .

This modular platform also be able to have a base that allows multiple types of anchors suspensions and therefore car! Rationalization when you hold us! From the course of 2013, the series1 should offer more traditional versions of a version xDrive and BMW ... the famous compact FWD.

Without that being said, we understand that this new platform will benefit the next Bavarian Mini. 2014 should see the arrival of a serie1 GT will be a 5-door hatchback and inclined façon serie5 serie3 GT. Serie1 This should be a little longer than the rest of the range of about 5 cm. It should diferencias serie1 the "normal" after the amount B.

By cons is not known yet whether this will be a propulsion or traction ... and it's not finished since we are talking of a FAV (for Family Activity Vehicle), which would be a real minivan (some even speak of a mind MPV) with elevated Carriage seats and a large volume of loading for baggage. Until we see a BMW VU arrive, there's not very far!
